Study Buddy is a one-on-one tutoring service from a Massachusetts State Certified teacher who has 7 years of experience in the discipline of English and English Language Arts. I am a certified, 7th year English teacher in the state of Massachusetts for grades 8-12; I also held a certification for grades 5-8 and taught 7th grade under that license for four years. I have extensive experience in MCAS
Prep and Proctoring for 7th grade (4 years) and 10th grade (2 years). I assisted in designing and facilitating a 9th grade Mock MCAS (2016), and I have taught 4 sections of SAT Prep (2010). Additionally, I designed and taught a skill retention English class under Chicopee Public Schools for incoming 6th graders (4 years) and have proctored online credit recovery also under Chicopee Public Schools for high school classes over the summer (1 year). I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA and a Master of Science in Adolescent Education with a concentration in English from Molloy College, Rockville Centre, NY (NCATE Accredited) where I graduated with a 3.9 GPA and as a member of Kappa Delta Pi, International Honor Society in the field of Education. All tutoring sessions will be tailored to your unique needs. If needed or desired, I am able to design educational materials that may enhance or enrich your experience. I can also design educational materials for continuing education purposes if you prefer to practice without formal tutoring guidance. If you tell me what areas you need help with, I can design a practice activity and a personalized tutorial for you. I am a dynamic reader. If a read aloud is something that is required or desired, I am happy to accommodate you. I was chosen to proctor a read aloud MCAS exam due to my talent for expressive reading. I am also willing to accommodate clients who may require a scribe. If your child has been issued a 504 or an IEP, I am happy to assist with these accommodations as well as long as they are in my power to due so as an independent tutor. I am familiar with both of these types of documents as a public school teacher. Any reasonable request or requirement will be met. Please contact me to let me know how I can help you.
