Barbara grew up in New York and attended Hunter College, where she graduated with a BA in languages and mathematics. Wanting a change after college she moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1993 where she completed her MA in Linguistics at the University of New Mexico. At UNM, she was an Education Specialist on a NSF-funded research project on assessing cognitive diversity, and a Teaching Assistant in the Linguistics department.

Before founding Monterey Tutoring she worked for the Defense Language Institute in Monterey as a Language Technology Manager.
Barbara has helped hundreds of students prepare for a broad range of standardized tests and academic challenges. Given her love of teaching, her gift in motivating and assisting children toward achieving their goals, and the overwhelming success that her students have enjoyed, Barbara founded Monterey Tutoring to help students in the Monterey Bay area.
