Winning Writing Skills
With over twenty years experience as a writer and educator, I bring both passion and practicality to my students. Writing is both art and skill. I give my students both critical thinking skills, as well as, a clear perspective on artistic expression. As the adage suggests, "The pen is mightier than the sword." With an MA and BA in English from Xavier University, I have taught English on both the college and secondary levels. My master's thesis focused on How to Teach Writing. My passion i... Read more

Let's do some reading!!!

Math and Science
The "Aha!" moment is one of the best parts of the learning process. I love helping a student move from utter bewilderment to mild confusion to complete understanding in their subject. There are few more fulfilling ways to spend time. I have over a year of experience tutoring university athletes in various math subjects, chemistry, physics, Spanish, economics, and accounting. During that period of time, I also facilitated math lab hours, teaching math to multiple students at the same time. ... Read more

What kind of tree does a math tutor climb?… Geometry
I have been tutoring in some capacity for over four years. I absolutely love math, but I also enjoy most subjects. I am studying to become an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and will graduate in May.

I am dedicated to my students and will work hard to help you in any way I can. I also love to have fun and make jokes (puns are my favorite). Four years of exp... Read more
