I miss working with students! I was and am good at it! I want to build on old strengths to find new ways to help students prepare for standardized testing and school assessments. I am currently a volunteer for English at Large in Woburn MA. I developed writing workshops to help both students and tutors prepare for TOEFL and other standardized tests. I believe in patience, active listening, and working to build confidence and an engagement in learning through creative lessons and letting a student know I am committed to them. I have helped countless students over the years, and I want to do so again. I can provide stellar recommendations testifying to the fact that I can do so.
