About Me

I am a high school English teacher who received my Ph.D. and MA from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in Theatre History, Criticism, and Literature and my BA from New School University in Liberal Arts and Theatre. I hold two graduate minors in Gender and Women's Studies and European Union Studies. Ihave been teaching courses at the high school and college level for almost ten years in several areas of the humanities. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about aiding students with their writing (including college essays); helping with research, organization and study skills, literature and history courses. My background in theatre means I can draw from creative and exciting techniques that help students retain information and advance their skills. I believe students learn best when they can relate to the material and discover its relationship to their own lives.
