grammar
As a middle and high school English teacher, I teach grammar on an almost daily basis! My teaching of grammar draws upon three different, complementary workbook series, as well as custom lessons and activities. My comments and feedback on written work also include grammar corrections. Students who work with me on their grammar skills will see vast improvements in their understanding and correct usage.

world history

political science
I have experience tutoring U.S. Government and teaching International Relations and Comparative Government courses. As a former Congressional intern, Congressional employee, and staff member at a public policy organization, I am quite familiar with how our own government works! In addition, my college minor in International Affairs included coursework on the U.S. government, on democratization efforts around the world, on political philosophy, and on several other forms of government, both past and present. While a graduate history and education student at Columbia, I also took a course on the US Constitution.
Common Core
This is my second year tutoring students for the new NYS Common Core English Regents. My students did quite well on short notice last year during the initial offering.

Although our lessons have been through the phone lately, Andrea continues to be a great tutor. I recently took my AP US History exam and needed help with the essays. Although I only needed help on the essays, she sent me tons of links on how to improve my writing and lots of review for the AP. Thanks to her, I think I easily got a 4 or 5. Also, she has mailed hard copies of resources for me on several occasions as well. Thank you, Andrea!

Andrea taught my son global history regents last year. She is very sincere, knowledgeable, and punctual. She went the extra mile to help him. Since he is a student with special needs, Andrea made various formats to make things simple for him. She always kept his spirit high. Her best part was keeping free communication with me on a regular basis. She changed his learning skills and techniques. She made a huge difference. I am very grateful to her and wish her the best.

Maryann R. from Levittown, NY
She told me that she wished that she was her Global AP teacher. She was very patient, very thorough in answering all of my daughter's questions, and really helped her on defining the strategy to succeed on the test.

Andrea is teaching Writing to my son. She is very patient and thorough, takes keen interest in making her student understand concepts. She is soft spoken and gentle but at the same time firm in getting my son to think and then put it down on paper. She is exactly the kind of tutor my son needs.
