I've taught in New York City classrooms, private homes, and in community colleges. My specialties include instruction in English reading and writing, as well as verbal SAT prep. In the 1st-grade talent show, I read the Gettysburg Address out loud in red velvet pantaloons, which might be why I wasn't more popular in school. However, I had books to keep me company. Today, I do have friends and am usually trying to get them to play Scrabble, Words with Friends, or Taboo with me.

I love traveling when the World Health Organization recommends it, mystery novels, Russian History, and everything to do with cognitive psychology.
