Naomi specializes in English Language Arts, Writing, and the Humanities (Social Studies and History) for students in grades 7-12. She served for 10 years as a high school English Teacher at a local private school. She also supports students with prep for the AP Literature exam. Throughout her work teaching English, she has developed extensive curriculum to support writing skills and literary analysis. Additionally, she instructs students on study skills and organization, in order to provide a supportive environment for learning.
Naomi says: “I’ve spent over a decade in the classroom, and I’m excited to use my teaching skills to connect as a tutor with students and families. For me, building relationships is the foundation on which I design lessons for each student. ‘What are the student’s interests? Hobbies? How do they feel about school, and their own learning?’ Considering each student’s unique attitudes and preferences helps me figure out the best ways to help them meet their full potential. When I’m not tutoring or teaching, I love to practice yoga, get outside, cook, read, write, and spend time with my two kiddos!“
