| TUTORIAL |
I began teaching the year I graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1980, and my involvement in education has
been uninterrupted for 30 years. While my professional experiences have spanned the spectrum, from
administrator to coach, I have always been a teacher, either in the classroom or via tutorial, and over the years,
I have prided myself on being able to reach both the high school junior whose anxiety about writing nearly
paralyzes him and the grade 8 student who dances through an honors Pre-calculus course.
My 30 years in education exposed me to a striking curricular array, so as a result, I feel comfortable teaching a
breadth of material and skills, including:
1. all of the curricular content associated with Middle School;
2. all of the curricular content associated with English, history, and mathematics;
3. writing skills;
4. research skills;
5. lab-writing skills;
6. grammar; and
7. organizational skills.
My other qualities include an:
1. ability to interact effectively with a wide array of children;
2. ability to inspire confidence;
3. ability to assess your child's unique strengths/weaknesses;
4. eagerness to communicate with parents as need arises; and
5. an ability to tutor long-distance via SKYPE, a free computer service.
I would be happy to discuss with you the specifics of my tutorial approach and program. Please feel free to

| "I was amazed by how quickly Martha cut to the core of my children's difficulties in mathematics. An hour with her cleared up a week of confusion. She has a wonderful way of connecting with children, making learning fun, and adjusting her teaching style to their different personalities and needs. I also found Martha to be a great academic advisor to me in many educational areas, including high school and college searches." - Parent of an Upper School Boy and Girl |
