My

Services

I’m local to the MD, VA, WV tri-state area, and am happy to offer in person tutoring. Virtual tutoring sessions are also conveniently available for students outside of this region!

  • Offered in 30 minute and 60 minute increments, I will tailor a program specific to your student's needs to accelerate their mastery of the subject matter. Virtual or in person.

  • Some students work best in a group setting, enabling them to learn from one another as well as from me! I can offer group instruction for students working the same (or similar) curriculum, while still engaging with them as individuals. Limited to 6 students per group session; 60 minute session. Virtual or in person.

  • I hear it all the time: Parents hate essays. It may sound crazy, but I love them! If your student has trouble crafting a cohesive essay in general, or even if they need help for just one super important assignment or college application, I'm here to help. Virtual or in person.

  • Let's get your student moved up! I will perform a comfortable, engaging interview with your student, examine their portfolio, and provide a detailed recommendation letter for grade level progression. Virtual or in person.

  • Are you struggling with the current curriculum you've purchased or been given? Maybe you make them yourself and you're wrestling with the growing pains of a grade level you haven't taught before? I can dissect what you've got and identify any areas of improvement, content to add. Who knows, I may even give you a stamp of approval on a job well done to ease your concern! It takes a village to educate your kids. Virtual or in person.

  • I've sung since I could talk! Formally trained throughout my college years, I love helping young singers find and refine their voice. These are fun for both the student and me! In person only.
