Award-Winning Literature Tutors in Los Angeles, CA

...Engineering. I switched from a career in engineering to one in education because I just love working with kids, teenagers, and young adults. For me, coaching a teenager to improve his jumpshot beats educating a client about a new product; and helping students prepare for the SAT trumps preparing for a design-team meeting. Having taken a year away from teaching to pursue a Master's in Counseling, I look forward to mentoring and sharing life with...

...as a Second Language to primary grades. Since my college career, I have worked with a range of students from ninth grade English grammar and mechanics to kindergarten phonics and reading. I currently teach kindergarten through fourth grade as an interventionist. There is not one subject area that I prefer over another because my philosophy for each subject area is the same: all students are capable of proficiency. As long as we believe that our...

I especially love tutoring language and literature. In my spare time, I love learning new languages and playing tennis.

...One of my students complained about CR from the first day; several weeks into our work she came in with her face glowing: "You know how you said one day CR would click for me? It did! I get it now!" I have a passion for the subjects I tutor. While I am the first to admit my math skills are average at best, my passion for reading is unparalleled. More than once I have...

...Language (CESL), where for three years I taught academic reading and writing, communication skills, and standardized exam preparation.

...early cultures? Or that early arithmetical and geometrical proofs were found to exist in natural formations? I find that once connections and insights like the previous occur with the learner, passion begins to grow, and education no longer becomes a requirement, but a self-employed pursuit. In my spare time, I love expanding my knowledge of different artists in many different genres, always looking for my new favorite. I also enjoy spending time with friends and...

...mathematics 4-8 and 8-12 as well as a supplemental ESL certification. My second and third years in with Dallas ISD, I taught pre-engineering courses. In these classes, students learned 3-D modeling as well as drafting, robotics programming in C++, as well as applied physics. I have worked with students of all background and pride myself on not only teaching testing strategies, but new ways to think: an engineering education does not teach you how to...

...vocabulary, grammar, study skills, and general academic confidence! I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in English (with Honors) and Vocal Performance. After graduating, I moved to Florida to be an AmeriCorps volunteer, teaching English and Music at a high-need middle school. I developed my own Word Study curriculum to assist 6-8 grade students with vocabulary, grammar, and writing. I also tutored small groups of struggling students after school hours. After...
