Award-Winning English Language Arts Tutors
serving Mission Viejo, CA

I am an English instructor dedicated to enriching the lives of my students. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature from The University of Chicago and an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School. Over the years, I have merged my love of language and literature with my long-standing commitment to the welfare of children and young adults. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a substitute teacher, classroom aide, afterschool mentor, and teaching artist. I have also recently served as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Taiwan. From these experiences, I have developed a fluid understanding of teaching methods and a keen sense of students' diverse learning styles. I can tutor various English subjects, such as PreK-12 ELA curricula, ELL literacy, composition, creative writing, and ESL (conversational English) instruction; I also offer writing support to new and prospective college students, helping them craft effective admissions essays and persuasive course papers. Essentially as an educator, I believe in fostering a holistic, student-centered teaching/learning environment that prioritizes curiosity, inquiry, critical thought, and conversation. I aim to actively inspire and empower my students, equipping them with the tools to thrive throughout their academic journey.

Hi there! I'm Keegan and I love helping students reach their goals and improve on their knowledge base! I bring a diverse set of skills as I am currently a Senior Pre-Law and Engineering student at the University of Central Florida's Honors College. I have been a tutor for 8 years and have helped over 1,000 students hit their goal grades! I specialize in giving clarity to complex topics and developing an understanding of basic concepts as well as advanced material. My focus is in elementary through high school English and K-Undergrad Engineering. My goal is to give every student a fresh look at the material they are studying and to help them feel refreshed and excited in their studies!

Every student deserves the opportunity to excel in their courses and I am here to help however I can.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, IN, where I earned my doctoral degree in contemporary American poetry. Before that I earned my masters in English at Wake Forest University, NC. I am passionate about poetry, writing, and the English language, and dedicated to helping others understand and achieve competence in the writing process. I have taught college-level composition courses, as well as a poetry course, and have tutored at Wake Forest University's writing center for two years, and therefore have experience in coaching students at different skill levels through many stages of the writing process, including formulating arguments, brainstorming ideas, handling grammatical issues, finding sources for research, and revising essays. I continue to enjoy meeting students where they are and walking with them through the learning process. We are all students of language; I find a deep satisfaction in enabling others to become great students.

Welcome to my profile! I am an earnest, well-educated (PhD) lad with many years of teaching experience. I have instructed in assorted fields, from English to religion and theology, and in many different places, from Hong Kong to Toronto. I also dabble in other languages - need to brush up on your German? I would be happy to help.

I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, PA. I earned my Bachelors degree in Cognitive Science and my Master's degree in Behavioral Science with a concentration in Health Behavior.

I'm grateful for every opportunity I have to help students through teaching and tutoring.

I'm currently a senior at the University of Michigan pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Business. I've been tutoring for 7+ years now, and I love making an impact in my students' lives! Previously, I've taught Math (up until pre-calculus), Science, Reading, Grammar, Writing, Computer Science (Java, C++, Python, Scratch, etc), and many more. I truly believe that working individually with students will not only help my students learn but also help me in growing as I learn from those around me.

I am a senior at Columbia University in New York City, studying Chemical Engineering. I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA, and have served as a tutor in the past for public school students in New York through the Columbia Tutoring and Learning Center, as well as the EduMate NYC program. I am passionate about science and engineering, particularly Chemistry and Biology, as well as computer programming, and I hope to provide the individualized attention students need to help them learn!

I am an undergraduate student at Stony Brook University majoring in Mathematics, so you could say that Math and me really click. I have worked with others, trying to better help them obtain a better understanding of math and they have shown bright results.

I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!

I am a graduate from the University of Notre Dame with a double major in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics and Anthropology. I am passionate about learning and teaching, and I am looking forward to experiencing both together!
