The Vision

With more than 12 years experience in the New York City Board of Education as an Educator, Reading Interventionist and Tutor, I have come to see the significance of making children active participants in their learning which breeds INDEPENDENCE and CONFIDENCE. Incorporating their interests and hobbies works wonders in keeping them ENGAGED and DESIRING to learn. My passion is instilling that confidence into struggling readers and writers, and having them recognize their POTENTIAL through learning strategies that foster independence. Trust is the glue that keeps relationships together, and the tutor/child relationship is not an exception. My children trust me to always pull out the best in them, and I trust them to allow me to.

I have a Bachelor of Science in English Education from City College of New York. As well as a Masters in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages K-12th grade.) from Lehman College. I am a certified NYC Board of Education teacher, and love working with students from all backgrounds.

In my spare time I love reading, spending time with my 18 year old daughter, and watching historical documentaries. I also have a 12 year old cat, Pancake, who lives with me rent free but pays in meows.
