Experience
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to consider working with me as your tutor! First, a bit about me. I am: - a professor of writing composition and rhetoric at Stony Brook University; - an experienced professional tutor for both private firms and freelance clients; - a former Youth Advisor and Case Manager for struggling NYC high school students; - an AP English Language exam reader; - also a published author and have a master's degree in writing and literature. I am seeking a few more students for private tutoring for spring 2018. I am available to tutor middle school, high school, and college-bound students in an array of English and writing related subjects, including: - AP English Language and Composition; - AP English Literature and Composition; - SAT Reading; - SAT Writing; - English literature, reading, writing and comprehension, grades 6-12; - English Regents Exam; - College planning and college essay writing/editing; - Résumés, cover letters, and other forms of professional writing. Unlike a large tutoring firm that just assigns one of their staff tutors, my first step in the tutoring process is to work with parents/guardians and students to decide how I can help to address your specific needs in terms of academic goals. I would be happy to provide you with my much more detailed résumé, highlighting my years of academic, literary, editorial, teaching and tutoring credentials. Please contact me if you are interested and we will discuss what tutoring you are looking for to decide if I am the right tutor to help you forward during these pivotal years of academic, personal, and professional development! Hope to hear from you soon!

I love writing and reading, sunny days, kayaking, swimming, enjoying healthy homemade food, and helping others. I write regularly - both fiction and non-fiction - and love a good book on a rainy day.
