Patient Tutor in English, General Studies, Test Prep.

Hi. My name is Sharon. I've been a tutor in English and general studies for over 20 years. My philosophy is that people learn best when they have clear goals, motivation, and support when they need it. I am a patient, caring tutor who can help you through those bumps in the road toward better grades, skill mastery, test preparation. I have an MA in English from UCLA, an MFA in Painting from Art Center, and a Lifetime California College Teaching Credential. I've tutored preschoolers through college students. I've also helped business people with their writing, including the development of text and visuals for websites and brochures. Good luck with your studies, and I'm here to help.

You speak English just fine, probably, but there are a lot of tricks to English phonics because the language has been around for a long time and keeps on changing even today. My approach to teaching phonics includes using phonics guidelines, sounding out tough words, and sight reading. Whether English is your native language or not, you can improve your English phonics and reading... Read More

Study Skills

Some subjects are probably easy for you, others harder. A lot of times the problem is that you've got the right approach to your successful subjects but need help with others. I can help you build up your study skills so that you will do better. For example, I have had many students who did not like English or Science (fill in the blank for your yuck subject). When they learned to use a clear approach, such as reading directions, keeping their notebook organized, defining their goals, they started... Read More

Drawing

Some people like to draw for fun, but drawing can be an important extension of your education, as well. You can clarify ideas and convey them to other people by illustrating them. You can make projects outstanding rather than so-so by knowing how to give them visual interest. You can understand the world better by drawing your surroundings, your family, pets, your favorite places or activities.

I have an MA in Painting from Art Center, and one of my own favorite pastimes is drawing... Read More
