I specialize in preparing underachieving students to pass their ELA Regents exams. In 2011 I taught English to high school students in Paris, France.

Hobbies
I love working one-on-one with students and to encourage them to feel comfortable and confident about subjects they struggle with. Once any students feel motivated, she can achieve success. Nothing makes me happier than seeing as student feel pride in accomplishing what they thought they could never do. My happiest moments as teacher include giving book recommendations to students who used to say "I hate reading". I believe that students become better readers and writers with encouragement and guidelines from instructors who get them to work at it one step at a time. When I am not teaching I enjoy walking and reading in the park, speaking French, eating delicious food and seeing films.
