"I have tutored hundreds of students in the fields of creative writing, essay writing, editing, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, and critical thinking over the years at the elementary, high school, and college levels.

Moreover, I have tutored students of diverse ethnic and racial groups and have always received accolades and excellent recommendations from my students.

This is important to me since, by nature, I enjoy helping students succeed and feel rewarded when they tell me I helped them achieve their goals. I also am very patient and understanding and have a great sense of humor, which, I believe, is important to the teaching/tutoring process.

I have been a professional writer and editor for over 30 years and a high school teacher/tutor and college professor for over 20 years. My articles and essays have appeared in many different publications and journals over the years, including Los Angeles Magazine and LA Weekly. My teaching positions have included Cal State Northridge and the University of Phoenix." less...
