I am an English/Drama/Writing teacher in New Hampshire! I earned my BA in English from UNH and my MA in education from Framingham State University. I taught for ten years in New Hampshire and for the last two decades overseas. While teaching abroad, I was also an administrator in schools located in Turkey, Thailand, Mexico, Cambodia, and Israel. I now work at a private school in New Hampshire where I teach English and Drama and serve as the Head of Middle School. My teaching experience includes English, drama, public speaking, and gifted and talented education. With each experience, I have valued various opportunities to become involved in student life from directing plays to coaching sports and organizing community service events. As an administrator, these experiences shaped my sense of commitment to an educational experience that challenges students to take risks and to find their niche. In the classroom and beyond, students are at the heart of what I do and it’s what keeps me in education— their enthusiasm, their talents and, most of all, their unlimited potential.

I have tutored in various settings over the years. I have worked with individual and small groups on writing workshop where we develop different writing genres. Along with learning to develop fiction and non fiction writing pieces, students also learn how to apply conventions and how to improve their editing skills. I've also worked with students who struggle with reading comprehension. Through vocabulary activities and discussion, students have found their reading abilities improve. Beyond this, I have experience working with ELL and ESL students. I can also tutor students in test preparation, public speaking, drama and history.

I want to benefit the students I work with and therefore welcome any suggestions or resources from students or parents. I'm easy to reach and will respond quickly. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have or to schedule a lesson.

Responsible and knowledgeable English tutor

Holly is amazing! She is very experienced and knowledgeable. I am so glad to find her for my son. We had only two lessons but finds the lessons very helpful. We will continue to work with her.

Holly was AMAZING!

Holly was amazing! My son is taking English 2 Honors at a private Catholic school, and part of his curriculum is Homer's Iliad. Not only did Holly knew this literary masterpiece, she came to the session specifically prepared to analyze Books 6 and 8, for which he had a test. My son was very happy with the session, and we will definitely be using Holly again.

Tatiana, 20 lessons with Holly

Holly is exceptional. She is an engaging, effective and committed tutor.

Holly is teaching my son, 16 y/o, how to read and write analytically and effectively. My son has struggled with writing for many years. While he has worked with several tutors, his tutoring has not been effective overall. Holly is guiding Nico, step by step, through the process and helping him overcome his resistance to writing. Nico is actually happy working with her, and shared she is a "pro." I recommend Holly without hesitation. Graciela

Patient tutor

Prepare for the private school interview for the children. The daughter says the teacher is very good. She likes it very much. The teacher prepared a lot of questions. Practice the children's way of answering questions
