Award-Winning English Grammar and Syntax Tutors serving Vacaville, CA

Hi, My name is Bobby and I'm a recent transplant from Texas. I've worked in education for the past four years; working as a para-educator, social studies instructor, and ELL/ELA coordinator.

...complain along the way! I strongly believe that everything should be done for a purpose. If you have a purpose, a goal or dream, there should be nothing to stop you.

You might be wondering what dreams of mine have already...

...to teach me how to plan my writing before putting it to paper. Later experiences gave me appreciation for planning. As a writing tutor in college for five-and-a-half years (through most of undergrad and all of grad school), I had to develop a vocabulary for discussing the hierarchy of needs for a writer to keep in mind. Furthermore, it taught me to identify and address weaknesses ranging from the big picture to the smallest comma....

...imbued me with a keen sense of what constitutes not just good but great writing. Editing, proofreading, and revision are second nature to me as are the intricacies of English syntax and grammar.

You can do whatever you set your mind to. Always think positive.

...love for the flower viewing season in Japan. I am enamoured at the beauty that can be found in Japan's nature. When it comes to studying Japanese, I think student's should remember that even though the Japanese writing system has been romanized, the Chinese characters that are used are widely based off of depictions of picture symbols. For example, one cannot think about the flower viewing season in Japan without thinking about the kanji hanabi,...

...a Biology lab class and the helpful guidance of a lab mentor who was incredibly kind, funny, patient, and understanding. Although I have tutored in the past, this experience was my first in which I truly engaged with people, and I found that I learned from my students while also teaching them. It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done and I would love to continue doing it in the future!...

...school. I have experience both as a classroom teacher and a tutor and in these roles I look for ways to make learning fun and rewarding. I especially love teaching reading and writing and I have taught or tutored these subjects to students ranging from kindergarten through adults. I also have experience tutoring test prep subjects and focus both on the content material and test taking skills. My passion is psychology and I have been...

...honors from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. While studying, I was employed as a laboratory technician at the Rhodes Laboratory of Behavioral Neuroscience, where the bulk of my work, including my senior honors thesis, concerned the adverse of effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing hippocampal region of the brain. After graduating, I served a year, full time, as an Americorps member with City Year, tutoring and mentoring 7th and 8th grade students...
