Bio:
Vocabulady was a high-school French and Spanish teacher who became a professional tutor in 2019. Her foreign-language-teaching days led her to a singular interest in words and learning vocabulary. Difficult words pervade the digital SAT, causing excessive consternation for students when erroneous notions of the implications of language in passages impede their comprehension and prevent success.
But seriously. The College Board jacked up the vocab on this test. On vocab in context questions, you may be able to figure out what the word means, but if you don’t know any of the answers, you’re probably not going to get it right. On the other reading questions, you may not even realize that you don’t know what a word means. If you read “contempt” and you think it says “content,” you’re missing the cue to the correct answer.
Let Vocabulady help you learn vocabulary and improve your reading and writing score. (And she can help you improve the math, too.) Or if it’s French or Spanish vocabulary you need help with, she’s your superhero.
Education and Experience:
Vocabulady decided in seventh grade that she would be a French teacher when she grew up--not because she wanted to travel the world, but because she loved language. She studied French and Spanish in high school and college, and she graduated from Marywood College (now university) in 1994 with a BA in French and Spanish, a minor in ESL, and a K-12 Pennsylvania teaching certificate. .Vocabulady also has had training and experience in developing online courses and creating a variety of materials for foreign-language distance learning. She has also received special training in working with students with learning differences, especially ADHD, ASD, processing disorders, dyslexia (older students), dysgraphia, anxiety, and more. But don't let the name fool you. Vocabulary activities are just the beginning.
