I am a highly-experienced English tutor with more than 25 years experience. My expertise is in analyzing literature, improving writing skills, and increasing vocabulary exponentially with Greek and Latin roots in just the first few weeks. I also provide my students with practical tools for learning and test taking, as well as interviewing, which they can start using immediately.

I’ve worked with learners of all ages and levels, from young students mastering grammar and reading comprehension to high school and college students refining their essays, vocabulary, and literary analysis.

Over the years, I’ve primarily taught one-on-one, creating a calm, encouraging space where students feel supported and motivated to do their best. I take great pride in seeing my students not only improve their skills but also develop a genuine appreciation for the power of language. I can also be available to students for homework help from 6 pm thru midnight daily!

Creative Writing

I’m passionate about storytelling and helping others find their unique voice. I guide students to unleash their creativity, focusing on developing strong ideas, vivid descriptions, and compelling characters. Let's discuss your writing goals!
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have over 20 years of experience tutoring students from kindergarten through eighth grade. My tutoring work spans both the United States and international locations, giving me a broad perspective on different educational approaches. I carefully craft my lessons to match the unique learning style of each student, ensuring they get the most out of every session.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

I have extensive experience helping students strengthen their executive functioning skills, including organization, time management, and task prioritization. My background in literature and law has given me a strong foundation in critical thinking, organization, and effective communication—skills that are central to executive functioning. I have experience helping students develop strategies for managing time, setting priorities, and staying focused on goals. I work closely with each student to build personalized systems that support planning, follow-through, and self-discipline. My approach is both structured and encouraging, designed to help students gain confidence and independence in their academic and personal lives.
GED

GED

I have a strong background in test taking and specialize in guiding learners in Social Studies and Language Arts, which are two of the four areas in the GED. I'm here to help build confidence for success on test day!
Hebrew

Hebrew

I began studying Hebrew as an adult (age 27) and spent a lot of time in ulpans (Hebrew learning courses) in both the US and Israel. I lived and worked in Israel for 13 years and learned Hebrew by using it every day. I also have been teaching adults about the symbology behind the Hebrew letters for the last six years.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have extensive experience interviewing candidates across diverse industries worldwide. My background spans various business sectors, giving me insight into what top employers seek. Having lived in Silicon Valley, I understand the fast-paced tech culture and its unique interview demands. I help candidates prepare confidently by sharing practical strategies and real-world tips.
Law

I hold a Juris Doctorate.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

For over 20 years, I have helped students craft compelling personal statements to gain entry into schools. I work closely with each student to highlight their unique strengths and experiences, ensuring their voice shines through. By tailoring my guidance to individual needs, I help students present themselves confidently and authentically. My goal is to partner with my students to make the application process less stressful and more successful.
Spelling

Spelling

I have 20+ years experience tutoring spelling, from grades 3 to 12.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I spend the first few weeks with all new students teaching them the most useful 84 Greek and Latin roots, increasing their vocabulary by about 600 words in the first two months alone. We then move on to SAT vocab, if appropriate, or advanced vocabulary suitable to the student's grade level. I work with each student for 1.25-1.5 hours each session.
