Throughout my educational career I have loved to building strong relationships with my students, parents, and colleagues. I got my masters in teaching special education because I truly love to watch students find the path that fits their learning even if it varies from the traditional education. I see how collaboration is a key to academic and personal growth, and for this reason I build and scope my instruction around the individual learner. Beyond academics, I strive to focus on essential life skills such as critical thinking, imagination, and resilience. I aim through my training and instruction to encourage and strengthen lifelong learners who never loose their confidence or curiosity.

MS Chapman University • BA University of California-Riverside
1+ Years Tutoring

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of California, Riverside and a dual Master of Arts in English and Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Chapman University in Orange, California. In between studies, I began my experience as a tutor for the "No Child Left Behind" program tutoring students K-8 in Reading and Language Arts in order to help them improve study habits and standardized test scores in a one-on-one setting.Upon entering graduate school at Chapman University, I began working as an English tutor for the writing center on campus. I worked one-on-one with undergraduates and graduate students of various majors in order to ensure their writing assignments (short and long papers, theses, resumes, and personal statements) were following the given prompts.I tutor any category related to the field of EnglishReading, Writing (both academic and creative), Literature, and Language Arts. My favorite subject to tutor is writing because my belief, from personal experience, is that fostering a strong and confident authorial voice is of the utmost importance for a student and it becomes applicable to all career choices one might make. In my spare time, my hobbies tend to include things that continue to foster my own authorial voice and those around me writing music and poetry, publishing a literary zine, reading leisurely, and watching films.

Alexandra
BA Chapman University • AS The New School
3+ Years Tutoring

I am originally from Bern, Switzerland, but grew up in Palo Alto, California, where I attended Palo Alto Senior High School with an emphasis in English and journalism. I went on to attend college at Chapman University, where I obtained my bachelors in English with a minor in public relations.I first started tutoring when I was a sophomore in high school, teaching children grades K 5 how to improve their reading comprehension, writing, and mathematical skills. From there, I went on to tutor for Reading Partners in Milpitas, Villa El Salvador in Peru, and finally my university's Center for Academic Success, where I tutored at the collegiate level.Each experience was completely unique and shaped me into the tutor and person that I am today. Reading Partners taught me how to adapt a given curriculum to an individual student's goals and needs. Villa El Salvador taught me how to connect with students from a completely different linguistic and cultural background. Finally, Chapman University's Center for Academic Success taught me how to expand my range from basic reading and writing skills to different areas of literature, essay construction and writing, and foreign languages, specifically German and Spanish.My strongest subjects include reading comprehension, phonics, grammar, essay construction and writing, German language (all levels) and Spanish language (through the intermediate level). Although it is difficult for me to choose a favorite, I would have to say essay construction and writing because I believe that a student's ability to express themselves intelligently and creatively is the foundation of a strong education as well as a successful career path.I graduated from Chapman University in 2011 and moved to New York City in order to pursue my associate's degree in fashion marketing at Parsons The New School for Design, where my coursework covered everything from business branding to marketing management. While completing my secondary degree, I worked for companies such as Rebecca Minkoff and Milk Studios. Today, I work in advertising for a luxury jewelry and watch brand, but the study of English and foreign languages remains close to my heart.Apart from my work in fashion and advertising, I am a runner, a cook, a traveler, and a collector of vintage clothing, watches, furniture, and novels. To give you an even better idea, I would love to run a marathon, visit Asia, and fill my apartment with new finds within the next two years and then continue my adventure from there.Most importantly, I am an adaptable, innovative, and passionate tutor. When I commit to a student, I give 100 percent of my attention and enthusiasm to our goal. If you're still not convinced, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions about my background, experience, or personal tutoring style. I look forward to getting to know you!

As a lifelong learner, I am driven to help others achieve their academic goals. I am currently a part-time instructor for math, science, and computers. In addition to having a Masters degree I have over 10 years of business experience. This has allowed me to help translate to students how they can use the information they are learning at school in the real world. I have worked with students of all ages and truly love helping students master the basics of their subjects so that they can succeed in their classes.I am most passionate about tutoring math and helping students understand how to break down problems. I work to evaluate their current comprehension and strive to build a strong foundation of knowledge. I often tell my students that math is just like learning another language. Once they learn to master the basics they are able to read and solve problems successfully. I care deeply about my students' success and I strive to make learning fun and relatable to their world.

Hi! I'm Leah! I've been a teacher for 11 years now and have taught in both California and Connecticut. I have experience with 1st through 6th grade. I went to school at Chapman University a small private school in Southern California. I received my Bachelor's degree in Political Science but decided the law wasn't for me and went back and got my teaching credential and Master's degree in Education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction. I also spent 5 years teaching at the college level through both DeVry University and Westwood College.

My husband is currently in the military and this is the 2nd state I have lived in. I like working out by running or going to the gym to lift weights. I also like reading (when I'm not teaching).I'm very straight forward when it comes to my teaching style. I tend to find out what works best for my students and tailor my lessons to best fit their needs. I enjoy finding out what they like to do so I can fit that into my lessons.

Minhquan
BA University of California-Irvine • Juris Doctor, Law Chapman University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a former English Teacher and I really enjoyed my time working with students. Although my career path has turned towards the Law, I still miss sharing my love of English literature and writing with others.As a former educator, I am deeply familiar with the many issues that students, Teachers, and schools face. When I student-taught at Edison High School, I learned the importance of not only appreciating each student's learning style, but the less salient aspects of his or her life which affected learning: their extracurricular activities, workload in other classes, and emotional, social, or psychological struggles. I held firm to my standards, as to what kind of commitment I expected from my students, and opened myself up as a resource to help them to fulfill those standards.My specialty has always been Reading, Writing, and Literature. Communication and analysis are the very core of what English classes are meant to teach. By using this as the framework for my lessons, I push my students towards mastery of the subject, rather than rote memorization of grammatical rules and literary devices.
