As a tutor, I give curriculum materials that support the child's needs, but also help them to advance in school by aligning to the school's challenging material or supporting the level of struggle that some grade levels carry in Common Core subjects. I tutor to support students in the long-term growth, not for short-term learning . I work to help students see progress in all their hard work practiced & expressed over time. In my sessions, learning is structured through consistency and focus on needed areas/ subjects over time, since growth develops from skills reviewed and mastered in each student's pace.

I am an insurance broker , who has been in businees for over 40 years, born in Ecuador , and a certified Spanish - English translator.

First, I love English! I have been teaching it for the University of California for over ten years. Not only do I tap into English in the classroom, but I am a writer as well (freelance journalist, novelist, and scriptwriter). I help my students see the many doors that a sound grasp of English opens for them. I have my MA in English, and received my BA in History - yes, I am a history nerd, too! I break down concepts in an understandable way and have an engaging teaching style. I cater each and every tutoring session to the learning outcomes that that particular student is looking for.

I am a retired ELA/Special Education teacher from the second largest school district in the nation. I am an expert at study skills. I prepare students on how to approach any topic in school.

I love to help students in reading, writing, and STEM subjects. I have an engineering degree and a Master’s in Business. I’m great at explaining complex concepts in simple terms to facilitate learning.
