I am a chemical engineer, with work experience in tutoring, lab research and process design. Chemical engineering is my passion, especially since it relates to so many aspects of our day-to-day life, and I am excited to help students see how exciting science and engineering can be. One of my favorite parts of teaching is helping students relate abstract science concepts to tangible physical phenomena. Partly inspired by my love of gardening and birdwatching, I have gained a technical understanding of ecological systems, particularly native plant communities.

I am an empathic and experienced online Arts and Music (Singing), Public Speaking, GRE and SAT (Standardized Testing for Higher Education), Writing, English, French and other advanced subject Tutor and Instructor and have a doctorate in Educational Theory and Practice from Binghamton University. I have extensively tutored and taught Writing to college and graduate level students as well as to high school, middle school and elementary school students. I have also received recognition for public speaking by colleagues and for my art and singing by the public. I am here to support you with your own achievement of rewarding results and self-discovery and actualization through your written and creative self-expression.

With a Ph.D. in Communications, I have dedicated my career to enhancing students' skills in visual, spoken, and written communication at the University of Maryland and various colleges in Pennsylvania. For over 3 years, I have specialized in online tutoring, focusing on preparing students for the verbal sections of the ACT and SAT. My approach is not "standardized," however, as I enjoy working one-on-one with clients to tailor learning experiences that address each person's unique needs. Beyond tutoring, my research in communication and health care policy informs my teaching, ensuring that I provide relevant, real-world context. I look forward to collaborating with you to strengthen your skills and boost your confidence in communication and test-taking.

I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.

I am originally from West Virginia and a graduate of West Virginia University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Resources with minors in Conservation Ecology and Applied Statistics. During my undergraduate degree I travelled the state of West Virginia teaching natural resources science and conservation to a variety of youth groups including Boy Scouts and 4-H. I was also a teaching assistant for an upper-level conservation genetics course. I am currently earning my Master of Science in Biological Sciences from Nova Southeastern University where I study marine fish ecology in the Pacific Ocean. While at NSU I was a teaching assistant for a graduate level course in R programming and biostatistics. I have been an ACT/SAT test prep and subject tutor for almost two years now, and enjoy helping students reach their academic goals. I am most passionate about teaching science, English, and reading, but I also tutor many students that struggle in high school math. I emphasize a relaxed but focused environment while tutoring, and I want to help students build their confidence in whatever area they need support. I firmly believe that learning should always be interesting and fun, even when challenging. In my spare time I enjoy wildlife photography, reading, and hiking.

I am currently a PhD student in the English department at the University of Texas at Austin. I also hold a Master of Letters in Romantic and Victorian Literature from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, as well as a BA in English (Writing concentration) and a minor in business administration. Prior to pursuing my PhD, I worked as corporate communications consultant and a client manager/tutor coach for high-end tutoring firm in New York City.

I have been teaching 18- to 22-year-old students at the college level since 1995. I love imparting to them my own passion for the English language and its literary heritage, from Chaucer through our best 21st-century writers. I am particularly absorbed by the history of fiction, drama, and poetry in English, and I hope to continue to teach such love of the written word to curious students today.

I am also an academic life coach and advisor, as well as a graduate programs administrator. I love to write and have been published both under my own name and under a handful of other pen names. I regularly present to my local professional organizations on topics regarding student success, particularly at the graduate level.

My love affair with language began in 8th grade when, as I read short stories, I saw how word-crafting could issue in what I call 3-D thinking. Good writing breathes sharp life into ideas, fosters synergy across them while creating new thought patterns for writer and reader. Throughout my 25 years of teaching and tutoring college students at an Ivy League university and at other local institutions guiding them through class essays, research projects, honors and masters theses, and graduate school personal statements--I always found joy in helping students discover what they wanted to sayand to express themselves coherently and persuasively. I hold a B.A. in English from Fordham University summa cum laude and in 1998 I earned a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania. In the course of completing my doctoral project after a long pause from grad school to raise my son, I cultivated the ability, and empathy, to look at academic challenges resourcefully from both sides of the desk. Given that my research on Hamlet was highly interdisciplinary-- joyous and original--I have carried that intellectual exhilaration into all my work as a lecturer, writing specialist, tutor, academic advisor and administrator, always urging students to seek out more conceptual connections and to write as integratively as possible. Currently I am working part-time by choice, but my staunch resolve that the pen is mightier than the sword remains intact and never fails to excite me. I want to share my excitement, expertise, and love of writing with you--and am ready to motivate you and empower you, as I have done so for numerous students, to write your best thinking!

I have a Masters in Creative Writing from Cambridge University. I am a writer, and I love to teach writing as well which, I find, is often harder than it is assumed to be. Especially if the aim is to write with clarity and impact, there is much to be mindful of, even something as seemingly straightforward as the placement of commas. In fact there is no such thing as a piece of writing which cannot be improved, it's just that we have decide, in the interest of time and sanity, when it is good enough! I have also worked as an ESL instructor in a LINC program. Additionally, I am a teacher candidate in a BEd After-Degree program, and in that capacity I have taught multiple subjects to Elementary schoolchildren in a Canadian classroom, including Writing, Math and Science. In particular, I enjoy teaching Math to youngsters, because I can see the difference when they realize Math is not at all a fearsome beast, but rather something full of creativity and even joy. I believe strongly anyone can be great at Math. When I have the time I like to read, swim, practice my French, and play piano and squash.
