About Me

I am a graduate of California State University, Long Beach in Southern CA. I first starting tutoring when I was in college because I loved helping students grow and excel in academics. I tutored middle school and high school in a variety of subjects, but soon came to develop a specialty in English (to include reading , writing, and literature). My bachelor's degree is in English Education and my master's degree is in English Literature, so I spent many years studying in this field. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English because I love the art of communication and writing, as well as the critical thinking and history involved in literature. I am a big believer that the humanities (such as language and writing) are not given enough attention in school, so I love using my skills and passion to get students excited about it. It's also important because language and writing are crucial pieces of standardized testing these days, so I know that helping students in this area will better prepare them for graduation and college. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing billiards, dancing, doing yoga, hiking, and playing with my puppies.
