Award-Winning English Grammar and Syntax Tutors serving Manhattan, NY

I look forward to helping students improve their test scores! I graduated from UC Berkeley and Columbia Law.

Test taking is a skill and, like any skill, you can improve significantly through practice and learned techniques.

I have been able to work with students who previously had not a clue as to a specific concept and have had them walk away feeling confident about it, no longer fearing the subject when it has been brought up. While I specialize in math, I...

...believe very strongly in being prepared for standardized testing--I worked hard to have the opportunity to attend the college of my choice, and a large part of that was getting my test scores to be where I needed them.

I currently audition and act in New...

...because I believe that almost everything in this world comes down to how we were taught. It took me years to learn to swim. I got the stroke patterns down early but it wasn't until someone told me to exhale all the way through not just into the water but as my face is leaving the water that I really got it. The same applies to learning in school: one key idea or concept can...

...with minors in dance and education. I'm a National Merit Scholar and AP Scholar with Honor. I love helping students with English, writing, reading, and Spanish. Between linguistics and my work as a professional editor, you can tell I love grammar!

I am a professional writer who also enjoys teaching. Over the years I have taught various subjects and at many levels, from pre-K to graduate school students. I am fully bilingal (Spanish and English) and I am a trained musician.

Beyond school, I studied the violin for 16 years, the piano five years, and sang in choir for six years. I also spent many years in elementary and middle school as a figure skater. In high school, I played tennis and lacrosse....

Language arts are a true passion of mine, both academically and professionally. As a bilingual writer for the State Department and two publishing companies, I've learned effective writing skills I love to share with students.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy dancing and spending endless afternoons in libraries or bookstores. I also...
