1:1 Tutoring w/AP English Teacher & Forensics Coach: 10-week

*SUMMER PRICE REDUCTION ONLY $120. (REGULAR PRICE: $350). Summer pricing valid until the end of August. Auto scheduling available, or email to request a time.

**This listing is for personalized and customized tutoring sessions. Private full curriculum courses are also available (additional fees may apply). Pease see end of this description for pricing details.

These customized tutoring sessions are designed specifically for the individual student and are provided as a monthly package, rather than schedule individual sessions. Students are asked to first join me for a meet and greet session so that we may design a course that will meet individual learning needs. 

 In a traditional school setting, I was always available after school to help students in any way that I can.  I'm here to assist with writing of any kind, literary analysis, speech and debate, or drama.  I offer a relaxed environment, developing connects and building strong relationships through encouragement, critique, and guidance.  I'm honest in my approach and don't sugar coat anything, but this honesty is what best enables me to empower students.

These sessions are designed to help students with whatever they need help with. These are not predesigned courses. Students are expected to come to class with something that they are prepared to work on, be it the early planning stages of an assignment or final revisions and polishing for a final draft. If they're struggling with literary analysis, we can spend time tearing a novel or poem apart. If they need help practicing a speech or monologue, we can rehearse, and I can coach them to excellence. Or we can go through a variety of debate drills. 

Please note that these sessions are for tutoring and assistance only. These are not full curriculum, individually designed courses, nor do they contain set lesson plans. Individual sessions are tailored to student needs.  If you would like a full, private English course customized and designed for your learner, please contact and we can discuss it in greater detail.
