Fun Facts

I believe that great teaching is a calling, an art form. It is one that is best put to use helping students discover untapped talents and abilities.

About Me

For more than 26 years, I have taught students all over the world: USA, England, China, Germany, Egypt, Gibraltar and more. One thing I have discovered is that students everywhere benefit from rapport building with their teacher, and I cultivate a good relationship with my students so they feel comfortable talking about where they most need my help.

Experience

For the past 15 years, I have been tutoring both in-person and online, rather than in the classroom. I hold a doctorate in English literature, so I teach all associated subjects: reading, writing, literature, SAT/ACT prep. I also teach math, from elementary school through high school and college entry-level.

Approach

I believe that each and every student has potential, and I relish the opportunity to assist students in discovering that potential. Whenever a student is struggling, or if a lesson just isn’t resonating, I see it as an opportunity to showcase my pedagogy and adapt to the student's needs.
