Critical Reading, Writing

Dear Parents:

I can offer your child the highest quality professional tutoring, to develop critical reading and writing skills, prep for the SAT test, or revise college essays. I have tutored East Bay high school students for 10 yrs, after a career as a college English professor (U.C.S.B.) and high school English teacher. I have my Ph.D. in English, my M.A.T. in English Education (California certified), and have published extensively on both literature and teaching. I have also taught overseas on two Fulbright grants. My students consistently raise their English grades and SAT scores, sometimes as high as 250-300 points. I work on all English skills--critical reading, essay writing, and grammar/usage/vocabulary skills. I offer rigorous, kid-friendly test preparation, with much more individual attention and greater expertise than others can offer. I have many references from families I have worked with in the East Bay. I meet with students in their homes or at public libraries. Reasonable rates.
