Reading Improvement: Teacher, Writer with Patience and Humor.

I love books and love to read. I have a wonderful and unique way of teaching vocabulary. That is the number one way to improve your reading. A student cannot comprehend what they are reading, if they do not know what the words in the story or article mean. Improve vocabulary, improve your reading. AND I know a lot of stories and books that students enjoy and makes them want to read. That is a challenge, but I do know how to do that. I am patient and have a good sense of humor. I enjoy what I do.

I am a teacher, a writer and a counselor. I have 19 years teaching experience and have taught all grades from fourth through college. Most of my teaching was with middle and high school students, but the last five years I have been teaching college level and adults. I have three books on Amazon and wrote for TV in New York. In addition, I am a certified counselor and run parenting groups, women's groups and adolescent groups. I am patient and have a sense of humor. I am excellent at helping students with writing, literature, college essays and SAT prep especially with vocabulary, reading comprehension and essays.

Gina has taken the time to go through vocabulary with my daughter. She is struggling with retaining vocabulary, within the first few minutes it was clear that Gina is very knowledgeable of the content for AP Psychology. She also made sure that she had the words that my daughter needs to better prepare for the lesson. She takes her job of helping your child very seriously.
