English tutor in reading, composition, theatre arts

I have a BA in Humanities, with a specialty in Drama, and a MFA in Professional Writing, both from USC. I am a credentialed teacher currently working in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. I have a passion for the English language and can help you sharpen and expand your skills, whether you're a beginner, English is your second language, or you're preparing for college entrance exams. I am also an actor and can help you express yourself. I am smart and funny and very patient. I've tutored second graders and adults, taught acting classes in Hollywood and Honolulu, and had my own writing work published and produced.
