"I am currently teaching ESL at Cesar Chavez Adult School in Fresno.

My degrees include an MEd in Curriculum & Instruction with a minor in Adolescent Literacy and a BA in English with a minor in Creative Writing and nearly all units of Teaching Ed.

I worked as a substitute teacher for the 5th largest school district in the nation from 2012-2015. I finished teaching 1st grade before moving to Fresno. I have tutored for 18 years, including college and adult-aged students. I have taught/tutored in Utah, Nevada and now California. I am familiar with Common Core and canonized texts.

I have great successes! In fact, one 12th grader I had a few months ago needed to pass her graduation/proficiency exam in order to graduate and had 3 chances to score at least 300. She failed the first 2 times (scoring 170 and 185) and then hired me. We only met for 8 hours and she scored a 350!

I also helped a third grader catch up a grade and a half that she was behind in reading and phonics in 6 months time.

I definitely think outside the box & can create homework geared specifically for you.

My Master's and Bachelor’s degrees are both English and Education-related. I have special skills in adolescent literacy, phonics, and reading comprehension as well as writing.

I am excited to help you reach your goals and show you just how smart you are!

Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime." less...
