Award-Winning English Grammar and Syntax Tutors in Los Angeles, CA

...community college context. Writing is by far my favorite subject. It allows me to understand and nurture a student's creativity and imagination- which always leads to some amazing conversations- yet it also allows me to simultaneously sharpen students' communication and critical thinking skills. Aside from writing, I enjoy tutoring Spanish, history, and study skills. As I see it, tutoring is not just about helping struggling students; it is about pushing students (even the brightest!) to...

...also writing my third novel, which will be the beginning of an intergalactic sci-fi trilogy. I tutor students on the GMAT--with a focus on the Writing, Reasoning, and Verbal sections. My favorite area of the exam is Sentence Correction, since grammar is one of my nerdy passions. I still love watching Schoolhouse Rock! and singing along with Conjunction Junction and A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing. Outside of the world of academia, my...

...student-taught at Edison High School, I learned the importance of not only appreciating each student's learning style, but the less salient aspects of his or her life which affected learning: their extracurricular activities, workload in other classes, and emotional, social, or psychological struggles. I held firm to my standards, as to what kind of commitment I expected from my students, and opened myself up as a resource to help them to fulfill those standards. My...

...District. My favorite subjects to tutor are English writing and composition, ESL and social sciences. I also know what it takes to succeed on standardized tests like the SAT, SSAT and ACT. If you're a student struggling with timed essay writing, I can help you out. If you're about to take the SAT and you're worried about the math section, never fear I'm not a "math person," but I found ways to get that high...

...I have helped students become more effective writers throughout high school and college. I honed my own writing skills as a staff reporter at the Daily Bruin, UCLA’s student newspaper, and as an editor at USC Law School’s Interdisciplinary Law Journal. An academic article I wrote on social media and the First Amendment was also published in the Interdisciplinary Law Journal. In my spare time, I enjoy skateboarding, reading literature, drinking coffee, cooking, running, and...

...their full potential. The majority of my experience is with middle school and elementary students, however, I enjoy working with students of all ages. I relish in supporting students in a variety of subjects, including math, reading and writing.

I have a B.A. in Sociology and Black Studies of University of California, Santa...

...past eight years. I have experience tutoring students of all ages, ranging from preschoolers to university students. While I tutor in a wide range of subjects, I am most adept in mathematics, standardized tests, and writing. Personally, I have found the subjects of calculus and statistics to be the most interesting and fun to teach. Though they seem daunting, showing students real life examples of both subjects has helped them realize how applicable and useful...

...subjects, and standardized testing, but my teaching goals are consistent throughout: the key to peak performance in any field, particularly in the high pressure scenarios of public speaking and standardized testing, is confidence in one's own abilities. I think the competitive intensity of the classroom can hamper many students' confidence, but tutoring can remedy this by creating a safe and individualized environment for learning. Beyond tutoring, I am passionate about filmmaking, writing, photography, and international...

...We will look at English news, music, and film, and each session, your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills will improve greatly. If you are learning German, I can also help! I have lived and studied in Berlin and Munich, and I know my way around the German language pretty well. I can teach you the way Germans actually talk (the stuff they don't teach you in school), but I can also help you study...

...lived in Russia and traveled extensively throughout South America. I tutor English (grammar and composition), Spanish, history, and public speaking. I believe that education can (and should) be fun, and that teaching and tutoring are much more effective when the student is happy and engaged. My approach to tutoring is to listen carefully to each student so I can get a sense of what it is about the particular subject that they find challenging. I...
