Test Prep in Casselberry, FL

I love tutoring and have enjoyed working with students of all ages for over fifteen years. I teach all subjects for students in elementary and middle school, and I teach humanities (English, writing, grammar, ESL, history, literature, etc.) for students of any age. Much of my experience has been helping students prepare for standardized tests like the ISEE/HSPT and the verbal portions of ACT/SAT. My experience includes working with students with learning differences. I first taught at Landmark School, a school in Massachusetts for students with language-based learning differences. Landmark was a wonderful place to begin learning the craft of teaching; its educational philosophy stresses the importance of both honoring a student’s unique learning style and modifying curriculum to meet particular needs. Because of my experience at Landmark, I am able to specialize in teaching phonics, reading comprehension and writing. My undergraduate education at St. John’s College also prepared me well for a career in teaching. Its Great Books Program asks students to read many of the great works of literature, philosophy, science and math that have influenced Western culture. This curriculum is an excellent foundation for a career in teaching because it not only introduces students to a broad range of subjects, but it teaches how to approach any text—no matter the difficulty—in order to gain insight and understanding from it. I truly delight in tutoring and in the one-on-one camaraderie that is built through the tutor-student relationship. It is a privilege to help students work through areas of frustration and watch how their confidence and initiative can grow through academic support. Most of all, I enjoy helping students cultivate the curiosity and wonder that is part of the learning process. As a doctorate student myself, I know how challenging school can be, but I also know its rewards; I look forward to sharing such rewards with my students.

Hello! I am a certified teacher. For college-bound students, sessions are designed to support the skill sets needed in college (including executive functioning). Current clientele ranges from grade 2 to college Bachelor’s Degrees. Having worked in two college admissions departments, I am well-versed in the application process. For homeschoolers and out-schoolers, we support the objectives of the families we serve. Additionally, TLC is an approved service provider for Step Up FES-UA and the New World’s Reading Scholarship.

I specialize in working with ADD, ADHD, and other students with “superpowers.” With a wealth of experience and a genuine joy for teaching, I believe that empowerment leads to success. My lessons, based on positivity, are highly motivating and highly effective. I respect the fact that how much an individual learns is essential to lifelong success: “Knowledge is Power.” I thoroughly enjoy being immersed in learning alongside my clients. Education(which is closely correlated with fiscal stability)leads to healthy self-esteem and the ability to thrive in this wondrous world.
