Experience
I am truly passionate about helping my students become empowered through the learning process. This begins by getting them excited about education and encouraging them to become active participants in their own learning experience. I have been a college professor for more than 30 years and I bring that same devotion to the students I tutor. Some of the specific subjects I tutor include reading, writing, essay editing, literature, English grammar and syntax, film, theater, public speaking, English, art, Shakespeare, and expository writing. I also tutor IB students in similar fields. As the Director of Graduate Studies and a professor at the Theatre of Film at Long Island University, I have read dozens of admissions essays every year. With this experience, I am more than happy to also help those students who are in the process of writing their own admissions essays to craft the best possible work to submit. While the subject matter is of course important when teaching or tutoring, the real challenge always lies in finding a way to make the material relevant and engaging for each individual student. I work with my students to find out what will motivate and interest them so they are able to build their confidence so they are able to reach their academic goals.
