About
My almost 30-year career in education started as a teacher at Lewis Carroll Academy of the Arts, where I taught Kindergarten through 12th grade. I went on to become the Director of Education, during which time I developed their phonics program and English curriculum and specified all math, history, science and geography curriculum. I had direct oversight of the teachers, classrooms, quality control and the educational programs that were specifically tailored to each individual student.
In the last 18 years I have tutored students ranging from those in need of homework help, to those enrolled in special education programs, from those diagnosed with learning differences such as ADD/ADHD and processing disorders, to the exceptionally bright or the gifted.
I also served as the Director of the Hollywood Education and Literacy Project which is a non-profit is a non-profit, charitable organization whose mission is to eradicate illiteracy and empower the individual to become a competent, independent learner with sound communication skills that make it possible to succeed in life.

I love teaching!
I love giving a person the tools they need to go out and create the life they want when they are older.
It is a wonderful feeling to see a student go from feeling unconfident to a person who knows they can achieve.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
After I meet the new student, I like to talk to them about how they feel about school, learning and the different school subjects. I also talk to them about their goals in life and if they have any purpose for school. In addition to the above, I "test" the student, in a light, no pressure manner to find what they know and don't know on the subjects they need help in. This gives me the information I need to know in order to write an educational program for them, and what curriculum to put together for them.
