Success isn't give, it's earned. You can Succeed!

I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.
I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with.

English Tutor: Critical reading and writing skills

I tend to have a hands-on approach to all of my tutoring methods, regardless of the subject. I want to make learning fun and take the stress out of tackling a challenging subject. I attempt to make any subject relatable to the student I am tutoring, and to provide multiple examples that are easy to understand. I break down seemingly complicated processes into simple and easy to remember steps.
My name is Jessica Grilli and I am currently a student of the University of California at Davis. I am majoring in English and minoring in Sociology and Education, as my future goal is to become a high school English teacher. I have seven years of experience tutoring students of all ages from elementary school to college level. I am great with kids, having grown up with seven brothers and sisters, and I have a passion for education. My areas of expertise are tutoring in critical reading and wr ... read more

I have a deep love for youth and students as I see them as the light of the world. My duties as a lecturer for three years included test proctoring, full management in regulating/lesson planning accredited undergraduate courses as well as Masters courses. Grading, educating and motivating college students has become a part of my identity! Office hours helped not only my tutoring skills, but also gave me the privilege of getting to know my students better on an individual basis. I loved every minute of it! I am of course TESOL Certified, in addition to having a BA in International Relations from UC Davis. I’ve recently taken on the challenge and privilege of researching, proposing, and instructing a college level TOEFL class designed for my students coming in from China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, to improve student test scores, and test taking tactics.

I'll Teach your Student to Teach Him or Herself

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college.
I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school ... read more
