I hold a bachelor's degree in English from the University of California, Riverside and am currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing and an MA in English Literature. My academic background has equipped me with advanced skills in analyzing, interpreting, and teaching English concepts. I have a plethora of experience tutoring English for K-12 students, focusing on grammar, reading comprehension, and essay writing. My methods include personalized lesson plans tailored to the student’s needs, interactive discussions to foster critical thinking, and step-by-step guidance on assignments to build confidence and independence.

I am a credentialed teacher with 17 years of classroom teaching. I have taught and been extensively trained in Orton Gillingham, Guided Reading, as well as Readers and Writers Workshop. Shortly after my first session with a student I conduct some low pressure assessments to help me understand what the student's strengths and weaknesses are.

I have found that immediate and appropriate feedback provides a great incentive to keep going. I love tutoring because I get to work one on one with students. This allows me to adapt my methods to e...

Recent Masters of Education in School Counseling Graduate. I have been working with and mentoring students for the last three years and have a passion in changing the lives of students to be the best version of themselves and learn how to unlock the potential they have. This passion developed due to my struggles in college. Failing out when I first started at 18 to getting a masters degree in school counseling has been a 180 degree turn for my life and want to use my experience to guide students to success.

I want to give back to the environment that I work in. I believe teaching someone something new can have rippling effects in their lives that are unparalleled and quite frankly intangible that will last a lifetime.

Our course sequence spans from the basic elements of writing (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) to college-level essays. Our students are welcome to customize the sequence to fit their needs. The more advanced classes, however, assume a certain mastery of rudimentary te...
