| Subject Expertise | I can teach anything English-related to students of any age. I have an exceptionally deep knowledge of my subject area as well as a broad range of teaching/tutoring experience, having been in education for 20 years as a classroom teacher, 1:1 tutor, and tutoring center manager. I can work with students age 6 and up on any task related to subject support (achieving or attaining grade level), enrichment (surpassing grade level), or standardized test preparation (verbal only). I am accommodating to students from any background or who have any type of learning difference. Please visit my teaching website at www.georgiagelmis.com for more details. |
