Award-Winning Phonics Tutors serving Brentwood, CA

...as a tutor. By engaging deeply with a range of texts, from Euclid's Elements to Pascal's Penses, I developed close reading skills and a love for all things literary. I then passed on those skills and that passion when I began teaching at Landmark School in Massachusetts. At Landmark, a school for students with language-based learning differences, I especially sought to strengthen students' reading and writing skills. Since coming to California to pursue my master's...

I have a wide variety of hobbies and interests including astronomy, current events, travel, geography,...

...the textbook material. I hope to provide an understanding into the often hard to grasp natural world. I am also a lover of fine arts and can often be found spending my free time at a local art or natural history museum.

I've taught a broad range of topics, from Art History to to Web Design. In addition to Art, I love History, Philosophy, and geeking out on Math & Technology. More than anything, I love to learn, and I hope to...

...a compassionate understanding of what it takes to be a good teacher. There have been times in my life when I was also the struggling student. Therefore, I understand both sides of the equation, and I strive to reach that wonderful moment where they feel as if they 'get it' and feel good about themselves with confidence in their abilities in a particular subject. To me, that is the greatest reward of teaching.

...I found invaluable. Tutoring helped fuel my desire to continue my education and I graduated Cum Laude from La Sierra University. After college, I had the utmost desire to give back to students in the same way other tutors had done for me. I have been tutoring now for the last two years. I am passionate about helping students to understand and overcome challenges they think they could have never achieved. I have unwavering patience...

Before our tutoring session, I would love to learn more about the students. This gives me an idea of the students' background,...

...tidbits that come together to help directors, actors, and designers create a world onstage. I read, I google, I condense, I synthesize, and finally I distill.

My job is to take the data I accumulate and make it interesting and exciting to my team, so that they are not...

...students don't understand anything about math. Many can't count! At the end of year, in June, Harmony Elementary was one of highest scoring schools in California in math. It was because of me that the math scores changed so dramatically. Please see; YouTube anderson sequence system. (2 minutes and 36 seconds.) I can do the same for your student. Just because I don't have a video concerning the other subjects, it doesn't mean I am...

...in Marketing and minoring in Art. I've tutored numerous younger students and enjoy helping with any subject. Yes, I am the weirdo that likes solving a nice algebra problem just as much as I like reading a sci-fi novel. I also have plenty of experience taking standardized tests. I have taken the SAT three times, the ACT, and 7 AP tests. Let's just say it was rare that my hand wasn't holding a number two...

...understood is also important for students to succeed in achieving better grades, exams, and having more confidence for the future. Having graduated from CSUN with a bachelors in political science, I believe great work ethic and discipline can get students closer to achieving their goals. I enjoy different exercises and sports such as soccer, weightlifting, and jogging. I enjoy watching soccer as well and keep up with the MLS, Serie A, and Premier League.

...that what was most important was finding ways to reach my students so they could learn. High achievement scores on tests were great, and my students had those, but being able to work with them, one-on-one, to see the light bulbs turn on was always most gratifying. Tutoring affords me the opportunity to once again have that more personal relationship with students as we work towards their goals. We collaborate and move in an upward...

...head on. I am a published author and award-winning playwright. I graduated UCLA with an MFA in playwriting. Composition and literature are two things that make me incredibly happy. I love the art of education as being something that can not only be a creative endeavor, but I also feel that my passion for education is contagious, and it will be as much fun to learn as it will be for me to instruct.

As an education enthusiast, I am dedicated to the process of learning through interactive efforts. I believe in a holistic approach that incorporates the various learning styles of auditory, visual, kinesthetic and those (like myself) that must physically feel the pen hit the paper.
