Instructor
Co-Director of Baldridge Reading and Study Strategy Program
I'm a Mentor, a Motivator, and a Real Coach for Students.
4 Hours of One-on-One Mentoring, Split into Two 2-Hour Sessions One Week Apart. Real Human Presence.
Online tools can deliver information, but a live coach builds confidence and lasting study habits. I mentor students from 3rd through 12th grade and college freshmen. It's just your child and me, live, with every strategy fitted to how they learn and every session built to keep them motivated. I've personally taught hundreds of students at private schools and colleges in Greenwich, Connecticut, and Santa Barbara, California.
Students have doubled — even tripled — their reading speed: 120 → 250 words per minute at Greenwich Academy, 160 → 570 at Bedford Middle School.
They called me "very motivational and always positive" and a "motivational speaker." Read their Student Reference Letters and the Dean's Reference Letters written for the program my family has taught since 1956.
Typically Double Your Reading Speed in 4 Hours.
Learn 90+ study strategies — test taking, note-taking, book annotating, essay and paper writing, memory pictures, critical thinking, and study skills. Cut study time in half. Raise test scores.
