English, ESL or Beginning Mandarin Tutor

Hi! Thank you for taking time to learn more about my tutoring services.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Southern California's Rossier School of Education MA TESOL program. During my undergrad education, I studied Mandarin Chinese and Linguistics. I have taught in my own classroom and online, done one-on-one tutoring and am willing to work with students of all ages. I look forward to speaking with you further about your educational needs.

My goal is to give you the practice and strategies you need to manage dyslexia successfully! I offer dyslexia tutoring using the Susan Barton Reading and Spelling System. All students need to begin at Level 1, even if they have previous dyslexia tutoring. (With the exception that they have... Read More
