I worked with Kathy Murphy as an ESL para during the 2000-2001 school year at Hampton. I planned on continuing, but my husband was transferred to France where we lived for four years. I have personal experience of how difficult learning a foreign language can be for students, as we helped our 7- and 9-year-old sons adjust to their French public school experience.

In 2015, I received my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Madonna University. Since then I've tutored over 700 hours, including 447 hours with 4.9/5 rating (168 ratings) on the Wyzant tutoring platform. During this school year I tutored 3 students from Delta Kelly.

In addition to tutoring children, I tutor adults at all levels. Many of these adults are RCS parents and desire to learn English quickly and well enough to be able to communicate with and understand their children's teachers. Besides teaching the language, I always explain the American school system, which is very different from that of their home countries. I also explain American culture and etiquette, which helps them to understand what to do in various situations, especially when these concern their children. I have been a long-time tutor of three students who attend the PLC.

I hold a Ph.D. in European History and have taught a variety of humanities classes at various universities in Michigan for twenty years. I have worked with high school students in Oakland County for more than fifteen years, helping them navigate difficult subjects, strategize for standardized tests, and achieve scores of 5 on Advanced Placement subject tests that count toward college credits. By limiting the number of students I work with, I am able to bring a holistic and custom-tailored learning experience to my students, helping them achieve competence and mastery across the arc of their humanities classes in high school and setting them up for success as undergraduates in college. Whether a student is taking their first week of freshman classes or narrowing down a college search, I am here to support their journey and help them strengthen and capitalize on their innate talents. With my decades of experience teaching university classes, I bring a deep knowledge of how to prepare and improve student reading comprehension, writing, and critical thinking so they can start off successfully at the college of their choice after graduation.

Hi. I'm Seth. I have 5 years of experience tutoring the ACT and SAT. I worked as a private tutor at Huntington Learning Center in Rochester where I tutored the SAT one-on-one for 3 years, and when they closed their Rochester location, I set off on tutoring on my own, which I've been doing for 2 years now. My students average 238 points of SAT growth, and I've personally worked with over 200 students. I hold meetings at public libraries in Rochester, Clarkston, and Bloomfield Hills.
