Experience

I hold an M.E. in Secondary English Grades 7-12 from the University of New Haven and also attended Central Connecticut State University. I've taught English in a variety of settings, including the public school system and a juvenile training facility program for at-risk youth. When I left teaching to be a full-time parent, I continued to tutor on the side. I've worked with students of all ages and ability levels, in a wide range of subject areas. With each, I build a relationship that is comfortable for the student. My favorite subjects to tutor are grammar and writing. I'm an avid reader, and want my students to derive as much joy from reading as I do. I also tutor foreign languages. In addition to a background in languages, I have traveled extensively and experienced varied cultures, which I believe strengthens my abilities as a teacher. I strive for a balance between pushing my students to make the most of their abilities while maintaining comfort and open communication. I'm aware that children sometimes struggle and may be hesitant to ask questions, and I strive to ensure that my students are comfortable sharing their concerns and requesting the information they need. When I'm not working, I am a traveler, reader, and active parent. I really enjoy new sights, experiences and locations.
