In college, I majored in English and I was also certified to teach grades 7-12. I have taken several creative writing classes at the Desmond Campus of Mt. St. Mary College in Newburgh. Currently, I am working on a history book for the elementary level on New York State. I also write short stories and am working on a book. My goal in writing, both for myself or for someone I might tutor, is to express thoughts clearly so that other people can easily understand what thoughts I am trying to convey.

I worked for six years as a 1:1 aide for a student with a brain injury. I am familiar with the special needs of students and I try to gear my teaching methods towards those needs, once I identify them. I worked in the classroom with this student for six years and had an enjoyable and successful relationship with him. I enjoy helping students become successful in as stress free an environment, as possible.

I have also taught Religion in my parish CCD program for fifteen years.

I am easy-going, yet I demand hard work from my students. I want them to go forward with the best possible skills and we work together toward that goal.

I would prefer if the student could come to my home or maybe we could meet at a library that is not far from my home. I will travel if that is the arrangement that is feasible.
