I'm here to help you think, choose, and score better in the world of academia! My specialty is English grammar and writing skills, but I've also tutored previously for study skills, social studies, and much more. I'm excited to connect on a personal level and get you to the place you need to be, academically. We are all called to be the best version of ourselves possible, so let's make that a reality!

I'm Toni, a college English professor looking to help you better engage with your learning interests! As a professor, my teaching style emphasizes active learning as a central component, aiming to make my classes more centered on students discovering the material and constructing their own knowledge. In teaching and tutoring, I see myself more as a facilitator of learning who provides students the necessary tools and direction for them to uncover the concepts themselves. Soon we will engage in t...More

I'm not working from home or caring for my family, I'm usually found at my gym where I teach physical fitness and self-defense. I also enjoy woodworking, writing, and various martial arts.

I am originally from sunny San Diego, California. Back in high school I was a tri-sport athlete playing volleyball, basketball and track for my school.

I am charismatic and approachable, and I make sure that the student feels comfortable asking questions or for further clarification, and that he or she feels comfortable making mistakes. I am an avid believer in positive reinforcement. Maintaining the student's attention and enthusiasm is a priority for making my tutoring sessions effective and fruitful.

I am not teaching, I enjoy going to the movies, spending time with my five younger brothers and sisters, and volunteering within MENSA. I believe that learning can always be made fun and is extremely rewarding when you put in the work. I look forward to sharing my love of all these subjects with you as a future student, and I look forward to meeting you!

I am happy to help as a second pair of eyes for a single assignment in the short term or for an extended period of time for a larger assignment. I am happy to help students wade through their reading assignments whether it be a primary literature source or secondary critical or theoretical sources. I can also help with note taking strategies, brainstorming, and paper organization. I would also love to work with any students wanting to focus on a particular author, genre, or era in literature (pr...More

I am passionate about everything I do, and I am especially excited about Literature and Writing. I think the power of language should never be underestimated, and if you can express yourself well, you not only grow in knowledge, you can also truly affect the world. Teaching has been my passion long before it became a profession six years ago, and I love it every day.

I am a seasoned educator and tutor with a Ph.D. in Literature, an M.A. in Literature, and an M.B.A. in international business. I have taught many, many students to write, read, speak, and think academically. Since 2005, I have worked taught in universities in China, Bosnia, the UAE, Afghanistan and Bahrain (teaching our troops!) and Cambodia. I recently returned to the USA. If you are feeling uncertain about your writing assignments, your English or Literature courses, public speaking, or standa...More
