Why work with me
I have 14 years of experience privately tutoring thousands of students – on standardized tests, executive functions, study skills, ELA writing assignments and application essays.
I have also taught in both private and public schools, and so I know the systems and the gaps in them.
Additionally, I teach students of all abilities effective study techniques; in other words, I teach strategies and methods for how to learn new material quickly and successfully.
Who I work with
I work with students of all ages and levels, and I teach each student according to his or her particular needs. As a high school special education teacher with a Master’s Degree in Special Education, I am qualified to work with a variety of different learning styles, learning disabilities, and exceptionalities.
I work effectively with students with ADHD and those who are on individualized education plans (IEPs).
Test Prep
I know the SAT and ACT front and back, inside and out.
Whether you are new to testing or just need a review, I’ll teach you key content and test strategies to increase your scores and your confidence.
I offer private, one-on-one test preparation for the VERBAL / ESSAY portions of the following standardized tests:
- SAT
- SAT II (Literature)
- ACT (verbal, essay and science)
- GRE
- SSAT / ISEE / HSPT
Are you in high school? Not sure which test – the ACT or the SAT – is for you? Ask me! I can help match you to the right test.
Executive Function Coaching
I offer one-on-one coaching in the key areas of executive functioning, including organization, time-management, homework tracking, project management, study skills and more. As a special education teacher with a Master’s Degree in Special Education, I am qualified to work with students with learning disabilities, including ADD/ADHD. Executive functioning skills are paramount to academic and personal achievement: let me help.
Study Skills
I teach students how to learn. This includes note-taking, organization, study techniques based on content and learning profile, memorization strategies, testing strategies, and productivity / focus tips.
Schedule a basic study skills session to learn good study techniques and habits, or book a session before a big test: I’ll study with you and make sure you’re really prepared.
