I have 20 years of award-winning teaching experience and specialize in teaching struggling readers to decode, comprehend, and appreciate literature. I take education very seriously, both professionally and personally. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from my Master's program and currently hold a 4.0 average in my doctoral program. I am organized, efficient, and able to match the needs of the learner to a strategy that works. I began tutoring college athletes while pursuing my undergraduate degree in English at Seton Hall University. I continued providing small group and individual tutoring throughout my teaching career.

I require a minimum of 24-hour notice for cancellations as I am also a mother of three busy children. I offer online tutoring and am willing to travel to some locations, but prefer to work out of the public library.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your full academic potential.

I am an English major, Orton Gillingham certified, Google certified, a district facilitator of workshops on guided reading & technology integration, and model teacher for a district reading program.

I wrote standard-aligned curriculums for the district in ELA and science. I specialize in Elementary (K-8), Math, science, reading, writing, phonics/spelling.

I believe students learn best when they are engaged, having fun, and feel successful. I use a variety of learning tools to make abstract concepts concrete.
