Tutors in Fieldstone, New York

I have many years’ experience teaching, two years’ one-on-one, in classrooms, online and in person. I receive consistent five-star ratings from students and parents, who appreciate the creativity and excitement I share with students. I am also a professional writer, and can help students develop their writing skills beyond spelling, grammar and research. I hold New York State certification to teach English and Social Studies, and ITTT certification to teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I have taught both English and Social Studies (U.S. history and Global Studies) in New York City high schools. I often help students prepare for AP & Regents World History exams, as well as the New York State ELA and SAT. I also teach English to Chinese students to prepare for the TOEFL and IELTS exams, and provide free lance tutoring in English and Social Studies to students in Grades 5 through 12. I have recently been consulting as an Intensive Literacy Support Specialist for reading-challenged and dyslexic students, with GreatLeaps.com. I examine and profile student needs for intervention, and implement a program of intervention and support, which has achieved significant results: excellent reading progress for the student. I have a bachelor’s degree in English from York University, a master’s in Public Administration from New York University, and thirty graduate credits in teaching from Columbia University Teachers College and City College of New York. I also have three years’ bilingual consulting experience in Central America. I am fluently bilingual in English and Spanish. I have reading comprehension of French and Portuguese, and am currently studying Mandarin Chinese.
