About Me

Is your child studying AP United States History, AP English, AP US Government or preparing for the SAT subject matter exams in social science? I can help your child maximize their potential and reach their educational goals. I offer rigorous tutoring in objective (multiple choice) and subjective (essay writing) skill sets which will propel your students to the head of the class.

My teaching responsibilities have included planning and teaching Advanced Placement United States History, Advanced Placement United States Government, US History, World History and Economics. I am also a reader for ETS for the Advanced Placement United States History exam. I hold Bachelors and Masters Degrees from New York University where I graduated at the top of my class and earning the prestigious Founder's Day Award. I earned my California Clear Credential with a CLAD emphasis from the UCLA TEACHLA program.

I am confident in my teaching abilities and I am fully prepared for the rigors of today's urban classroom. I am currently a Teacher Fellow at several universities and continue to attend various teacher institutes sponsored by the UCLA History-Geography Project, Cal State LA, USC and the University of California at Santa Barbara, as life-long learning is a necessary prerequisite for success in the classroom. Prior to my secondary experiences, I was privileged to lecture at New York City Technical College and New York University where I was assigned classes in Advertising Account Management and Media History during my graduate semesters.

Administrators and school sites welcomed. I am available for after school tutoring and professional development of your advanced placement staff. Let's change those 1's and 2's into 4's and 5's
