Raycene: Santa Monica tutor
Certified Tutor
I hold graduate degrees in Applied Linguistics and Peace and Security Studies from Wayne State University. My studies took me to Lebanon, Greece, and Turkey. Since graduation, I have taught K-12 English in the US, and Academic English at several universities in Turkey. While I tutor several subjects, I most enjoy teaching English, Literature, and Social Studies. I have a student-centered approach to teaching. My students tend to enjoy our lessons as we truly build a rapport while covering the material according to their learning styles. I believe that education is the great equalizer, and am passionate about giving each student a chance to maximize their potential through learning and building self-esteem.
