  • Packages of $2,500+ will receive a 20% discount and cost $2,000 and up.
  Remember, satisfaction with your first hour of tutoring is guaranteed and the unused portion of your purchase amount is both refundable and transferable to any WyzAnt tutor.

Hi! I am excited about this opportunity to provide my expertise and enthusiasm my students. Since graduating from Stanford University in 2001 with a BA in History, I've worked as a freelance writer and editor. In addition to serving as the editor of three published books, I have also written articles for magazines including AAA Westways Magazine and for Web sites including AOL CityGuide San Diego and Tan Envy. I am also a highly skilled proofreader and editor and a very creative wordsmith. With respect to my teaching resume, I earned my teaching credential from San Diego State University in 2007. I've taught ESL (English as a Second Language) for 2+ years, for both the Berlitz Language School in San Diego and the Humana Language School here in Atlanta. I currently teach English to a group of Korean students, which I love! I hope to earn my CELT certification sometime next year. I also teach an SAT Writing, Reading and Essay class to high schoolers 2 nights a week. I adore teaching and I have a knack for it; most recently, my ESL students informed my boss that I am the best ESL teacher they've had, something I'm very proud of. Of additional interest - I studied abroad in Florence, Italy, and am quite fluent in Italian! As a teacher, I'm very encouraging, upbeat and enthusiastic. I take to great lengths to make sure my students understand the material being taught. Thank you, I look forward to working with you.
