I’m a Curriculum Specialist, Editor, and Executive Function Coach who provides individual tutoring and consulting support for academics.
What I Do
I hold a Doctorate in Education and tutor middle and secondary students in English Language Arts and writing.
I copyedit student and professional writing for organization and grammatical correctness.
I help learners and adults develop executive function strategies to improve study and work habits.
I consult with principals and teachers to meet their curricular goals through presentations and workshops.
Expertise
1:1 Tutoring and Executive Function Support
For over 15 years, I have tutored students virtually on various English Language Arts skills:
Grammar: organization, mechanics, clarity
Reading comprehension: annotation, note-taking,
Writing: argumentative, literary analysis, research, persuasive, and synthesis
Executive Function: support for neurodivergent individuals to create systems for accountability and progress
Consulting
Teachers lead in many ways: through innovative practice, disruption, and advocacy. I served as an Instructional Coach and Professional Learning Community (PLC) Facilitator, assuming leadership roles while helping colleagues meet their stated teaching goals. I offer workshops to develop leadership traits and consult as a Curriculum Developer.
Curriculum Design
I love teaching! As a former secondary English Language Arts teacher with 12 years of experience, I taught every high school level, from AP Literature, AP Language and Composition, American/British/World Literature, Creative Writing, Speech, and elective capstones. Curating content that is meaningful, aligned, and student-centered is a welcome challenge. I feature multicultural voices and enjoy collaborating with other English teachers.
Editing
I have read thousands of essays throughout my career as an English teacher. I have also written hundreds of essays across my own education, from analysis to a dissertation to white papers. Focusing on style and organization, I help writers improve their craft to produce pieces they are proud of. I’m fluent in the mechanics of both APA and MLA formatting. I provide editing services for remote students, graduate students, professionals, researchers, and adult learners.
