I am very patient and I make sure the student thoroughly understands a topic before moving on. I motivate the student to succeed and teach good study skills and test taking skills. Normally, I use the student's textbooks and classroom materials during our lessons. For standardized tests, I use prep books, such as Princeton Review. Students do best when they are encouraged and receive positive feedback. My students are extremely satisfied after our lessons, and I receive wonderful feedback from children and adults I tutor.

I have been a teacher in Stamford Public Schools K-12,a United Nations correspondent, published a novel, and have a BA in Literature from Purchase College. I have experience with teaching large classes or individual tutoring, and I'm great at presenting ideas that the student can identify with. I get people I'm working with to realize they can do more than they think they can. I like to get students to comprehend the material and then have them push themselves and use what they have learned.

I have worked with K-10th grade students in reading. I have taught children how to read, how to read efficiently, and the skills needed to pass any comprehension test. The first strategy that I use is building a relationship with the student by getting to know who they are, what there favorite things are, subjects, goals etc... This helps me discover what strategies I can use to help them learn. I also try to discover which learning method works best. Are they visual or auditory learner? Do they learn by having things taught step by step, or do they learn through visual or read aloud examples? I believe that every student has the ability to learn and to succeed; it is about finding the best strategy and providing that extra support. Being that advocate for students is the reason I went into school counseling. I have worked in both counseling positions as well as teaching in many differen
