English, ESL, Writing and Law Tutor

I have years of experience teaching and tutoring English as a second language, both in the U.S. and overseas. My students have included high school students, community college students, university and postgraduate students, and working professionals of all ages. I have taught speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Farsi and Turkish. I am also an experienced tutor in law, having taught both law and paralegal students in substantive law, legal writing, test taking skills, and LSAT preparation. I also work with business students who are taking business law and business ethics classes.
I adapt my style to your individual needs. Some students prefer to use a textbook, but with others I will provide appropriate study materials. I like to get to know my students so that we can focus only exactly what you need to improve as quickly as possible.

K-12 Successful Special Needs or English Language Tutor

I present concepts in a variety of ways, such as: "hands on," visually, problem-solving, and inquiry-based. I reinforce the concepts each time we have a session. I tutor with a style that is accepting, positive, and where my student's feel comfortable enough to ask questions and become actively involved. All my students are successful learners who have fun learning!
My passion in life is teaching, where I can tutor students on a 1:1 basis! My teaching / tutoring experience includes classroom high school teaching, where my specialties were Math, Science, and English. Also, I tutored middle-schoolers in ESL, Social Studies, and Literature. I enjoy tutoring adukt learners on English and Citizenship.

Having been fortunate enough to have a number of extremely high-caliber teachers, I have learned that in order to teach one must be willing to learn; to learn not just the curriculum to be taught, but to learn about, and from, the pupil. From the 5th grade level all the way up through degreed professionals, I have made it a point to be a student of my students; to engage them in a manner that shows that I understand and care about their needs, and to help them feel that they are an integral part of their own learning process, as well as mine. Each day there is an opportunity to impart knowledge, and to garner it. I also find that a strong sense of humor and humility goes a long way in making the process of education personal. The goal is never separate from the individual.

Throughout my education at UCLA, I took an avid and broad interest in all subjects, and finally chose to complement a degree in International Development with a smattering of engineering physics and multi-variable calculus. My work and extra-curricular experience has been broad and challenging. I've researched crime statistics for a professor's book, helped lead an international development student group, volunteered in Guatemala, studied abroad in Ghana, and currently work as a Head of Marketing for a small company. My strengths are a commitment to quality, communication skills, writing ability, and a broad familiarity with scientific subjects and an uncanny ability to multiply in my head. I scored in the 98th percentile on the LSAT.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate student at UC Berkeley, I was a TA for twelve semesters in a range of physics classes. In 2002 I won the UC Berkeley Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor award. After graduating I was a lecturer for 2 years at 50% time. This was at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. There I developed and taught new coursed in math, physics and programming that were fine tuned for the needs of the architecture students. I can make complete sets of student evaluations available to you on request --- they are very favorable. I spent many office hours working one-on-one with the weaker students, and so I have considerable tutoring experience.
As a classroom instructor, I am conscious that one needs to constantly engage with and interact with the class. I always taught in a tutorial style, where after I've introduced the material the students must solve a puzzle or problem ... read more
