Experience
I believe that to work with students, one must possess a good sense of humor, and be creative about finding new ways to introduce material and solve problems. I have been able to bring students up beyond their grade level, and improve skills in subjects which they had previously been deficient. I have been teaching for over ten years, where I have focused on Literature and Drama, to students in high school through college. I am certified in the states of Connecticut, Washington, and New York.I offer tutoring in Reading, Writing, Literature, Grammar and Mechanics, IB Extended Essay, Grammar and Mechanics, Public Speaking, English, AP English Language and Composition, Shakespeare, Creative Writing, Fiction Writing, British Literature, Persuasive Writing, Medieval Literature, Vocabulary, and World Literature. I can also help with test prep for ISEE Middle Level and Upper Level, and PSAT Writing Skills and Critical Reading.I am a graduate of Hofstra University, where I earned my B.A. in English Literature, as well as an M.S. in Secondary Education.In my spare time, I love anything to do with theater and musicals (I have acted in the past). I also enjoy outdoor activities such as bird watching.
