Hello. My name is Sandra and I enjoy tutoring students from various backgrounds and educational levels. I have two teaching credentials and over ten years of successful experience teaching students. I especially like tutoring students and seeing their grades improve at school.

Algebra, Geometry, Biology, Writing, Reading, European/World History, Spanish, SAT/ACT Exams, and ESL conversations are some of the subject areas I regularly tutor students. Students with study skill needs, language development, accent reduction, or students who want to prepare for a specific test are all regular clients in my tutoring schedule.

Please contact me at your convenience.

I look forward to serving you as your WyzAnt tutor.

Sincerely,
Sandra
