Experience
I earned my BA in English at the University of San Francisco. I have developed the philosophy that English, as a global language, continues to grow through the diverse populations that use it to write and speak, communicating throughout the world, every single minute. Because of this, I feel it is urgent that students are comfortable enough with English to go through their lives successfully, with all confidence in their academic life and in the working world. I believe there is power in how people represent themselves, and that mastering literacy to its fullest extent gives us that power. It's important not only to be able to read what is said, but what is meant, or not stated, in any communication. It's also essential to be able to express ourselves so as to be understood in the world. Frequently, this is the only tool we have to show the world who we really are. As a tutor, I always let my students know that I have their best interests in mind, and that I understand each student learns in their own way. I love working with students of all ages towards literary advancement, including the basics of grammar and reading comprehension, but also writing essays. I tutor many subjects, and am also available to help students prepare for standardized tests, such as the PSAT, GMAT, and SAT, among others.
