📚 Unlock Your Learner’s Full Potential in Reading & Writing!

Is your learner struggling with reading and writing, or are they excelling but need an extra challenge? Many learners feel stuck, frustrated, or unmotivated—but they don’t have to stay that way.

✅ The Problem

Too often, learners lose confidence in their reading and writing skills. Whether it's essay structure, reading comprehension, or grammar, challenges can feel overwhelming without the right support.

🚀 The Solution

I provide personalized 1:1 ELA tutoring designed to meet your learner’s unique needs and learning style. With over 11 years of experience as a dually-certified ELA and special education teacher, I create an encouraging space where learners build skills and confidence.

🎯 How It Works

When you enroll, I’ll work with you and your learner to create a customized tutoring plan focused on their goals. Our sessions can include:

🔹 Essay Writing – Outlining, thesis development, text evidence, revisions
🔹 Reading Comprehension – Literary analysis, critical thinking, annotation strategies
🔹 Test Prep – SAT, ACT, state exams, Cambridge B & C
🔹 Grammar & Spelling – Sentence structure, punctuation, mechanics
🔹 Creative Writing – Storytelling, character development, genre exploration

📌 Each session includes interactive mini-lessons, guided practice, and actionable feedback.

💡 Why This Works

Success starts with mindset. I help learners rewrite negative narratives about their abilities and develop the confidence they need to thrive academically.
