I have been teaching and tutoring for 30 years and have had my own private tutoring business for 17 years. During that time, I have worked with hundreds of students of all ages and ability levels in almost all subject areas. I offer homework support, educational therapy, and academic enrichment. I create an individualized curriculum tailored to each student's specific needs. In addition to academic tutoring, I offer ESL classes and a variety of test preparation courses for standardized tests including SAT, ACT, AP, GRE, and others. I specialize in college preparation, working closely with students on their college applications and guiding them through the entire application process, from creating a resume to composing essays to applying for scholarships. I also offer homeschool classes and support in all subject areas, and provide editing for essays, stories, novels, letters, documents, and job applications.EXPERIENCE
