Nice to meet you! I am an English Instructor, Writer, and Tutor with 13 years of experience working in the public schools here in Maryland (MCPS). I have worked with students of all ages, K-12 though I'm currently working with high school students at "one of the W schools."
I love to write and can help you with your resume, your blog posts, a creative writing assignment, college essay, or even a single project where you just need a set of professional eyes to proofread.
I offer tutoring services in On-Grade-Level, Honors, and Special Education classes (both reading and writing) as well as AP level courses: AP Language and Composition ("AP Lang") and AP Literature ("AP Lit").
The way I like to help is to find out what you need most: do you want to meet once a week? Every day? Do you just need help with one essay or report? I'm here to meet your needs.
I have a dual degree in Communication and Psychology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where I graduated with high honors in 1986.
Prior to working as an educator, I worked in corporate America for many years as a Mediator. As a result of my experiences as a Mediator, I am an expert in conflict resolution, close reading, precise writing, and active listening.
I am married with two wonderful adult children and a wonderful dog named Ella.
