About Me

I am an experienced teacher and private tutor with a B.A. and M.A. in English literature. I have taught in several academically rigorous college preparatory schools over the past 13 years, but I have also tutored students from a wide variety of backgrounds, skill levels, and ages (11 to adult). My approach is skill-based and is tailored to each student's individual needs and progress. I offer instruction in writing (including college essays), reading, grammar, study skills, and test preparation (including SAT, ACT, SSAT, GRE, AP, and IB). Please contact me for a free consultation!
