Is your child doing okay in school, but in need of a boost with course content and study skills? ... or engaging enrichment? ... or college applications?

Would you or a friend like personal coaching to improve your own projects and products?

I tutor elementary English, social studies, math, science, and integrated subjects to students from the third grade up--some attending Murch and Lafayette and some applying to private schools. I also guide learners in middle school through graduate school on test preparation (verbal sections of the ISEE, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and GRE), application essays (topics, drafts, and revisions) and resumes, and academic research and writing in and across the disciplines. And I coach adults--including international users of English and seasoned writers---who aspire to shape and sharpen books, articles, papers, proposals, reports, and online content. I'm a lifelong resident with graduate training in composition studies, an advanced degree from Georgetown in linguistics (focused on narratives and “how to do things with words” or pragmatics), extensive teaching and consulting experience, and a strong record of student placement. I'm pleased to provide references, and to work closely with parents, teachers, and clients of all kinds to provide exceptional individual and small group instruction.

I'll have tutoring/coaching slots in the late spring and summer, and I also am open to offering elementary math and reading groups.

Thanks,
Maggie Ronkin
