Experience
I have been tutoring since 2004. I have tutored a variety of subjects and ages ranging from grade-school through PhD students. I offer College Application assistance, helping students through the entire process of choosing the best colleges to apply to and getting accepted into the program they desire. I specialize in study and organizational skills and implement that into all subject tutoring, including ACT/SAT and College Application sessions. I believe that it is important for all students to have a firm foundation in these skills. I teach ESL and tutor other subjects to ESL students. I also provide Theater tutoring/ Acting lessons for anyone interested. I spent 3.5 years as an adjunct professor of Geography at Salem State University. I taught Outdoor Education and Mapping the Middle East at Gordon College. I love tutoring because I get to be a part of the process students go through to reach their true potential and succeed. I personalize my lesson plans for each student as each student is unique and learns in their own way.

Hobbies
I love being creative! I enjoy writing, acting, singing and playing music, and even drawing. While some of these things are just hobbies and others are more than that, they all are good stress relievers for me. For exercise I love playing tennis, going for walks, rollerblading, rock climbing, and swimming. Although it is sometimes hard to fit those activities in as often as I would like! While I am a professional tutor, I am also a freelancer in the film industry. I am a director and producer of various projects in the Chicago area. Furthermore, I direct and stage manage theater. I love acting and even get paid to do that as well!
