Teacher expertise and credentials
My experience includes working at a university's Academic Success Center, where I provided one-on-one tutoring and led workshops focused on study skills, note-taking strategies, and academic success. I worked closely with undergraduate and graduate students, helping them build effective study habits, develop strong organizational skills, and master advanced note-taking methods to support their academic performance. My approach is practical and supportive, with a focus on equipping learners with tools they can apply immediately to their high school coursework and beyond. I hold a Master's in Education, as well as two separate Bachelor's degrees—one in English and one in Communications—and I have over 20 years of teaching experience across all age groups, from preschool to graduate students.Reviews
