Katherine: San Rafael English tutor
Certified English Tutor in San Rafael, CA
...I can support the student’s current English curriculum-with reading comprehension (how to engage with a text critically and analytically), organization, grammar and the writing process. Starting with brainstorming ideas, to actually writing words on paper, to the structure of their ideas and how to edit, I instruct students through the writing process without being their editor (the person who “fixes” the writing). My goal is to boost their skills and confidence, and inspire them to...

Josh: San Rafael English tutor
Certified English Tutor in San Rafael, CA
My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.
