Academic Tutoring Lessons in Princeton, NJ. It's your time.

I am a former standard certified high school biology teacher as well as a medical student. As a result, I have up-to-date experiences as both a teacher and a student. It is important to be able to stand in a student's shoes as a tutor and I am able to do just that. I have high success rates and I tutor my students on how to manage their time effectively, because it is the not the quantity, but rather the quality of studying that affects a student's grades.

I teach Spanish and English. I've been teaching English for more than 20 years and Spanish for 8 years. I like to focus my classes on students needs. The most important is to make them feel comfortable and motivated. I use a lot of vocabulary, shown with drawings or materials to show examples. My goal is to make students speak the language in a very natural and easy way.

While attending Columbia College Chicago, they hired me as a Writing Consultant for 3 years. I enjoyed tutoring at their Writing Center providing help to individual Students with Free-writing, Brainstorming, various Essay styles, Thesis development, Word Usage, Grammar, Internet Research, Resume assistance and some ESL. Since then, I have written a self-published novel and a full-length screen play.

I believe that understanding and developing one's Writing Process is crucial for anyone at any age. It is remarkable how difficult it is for many people to write something as essential as a basic job resume. Reading Comprehension and Verbal Expression take time, but a well-developed Writing Process is often far more challenging. To acquire the knowledge and experience in order to "get your thoughts on paper" acquires specific techniques and an understanding of one's unique thought process. Thankfully, this is a very rewarding experience!

Expect to dig into topics that may be triggers of high anxiety. The reward is ruling your fear.... not your fear ruling you. I will teach you how to receive the most out of your past thinking and experiences. It will feel like self-therapy.

I am a certified Reading Intervention Specialist with an M. Ed focused on struggling readers. With 15 years of experience, I love to help all ages in becoming successful readers. My schedule is flexible.

I am offering math tutoring, both online and at students' places! I can tutor pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus and tailor my tutoring to each student's individual needs.
