I recently graduated from Sacramento State with my MA in English with an emphasis in composition. This means I am trained in the latest teaching techniques and materials for college level writing. Over my six years in school, I have tutored at all levels of education:community college, undergraduate, and graduate.I know that students have a wide variety of reading and writing skills as they enter into the particular styles of college writing such as essays in expository(description and explanation), argumentative/persuasive,research(with study and research skills), and criticism (discussing your thoughts or particular critiques of readings).
Through working with the student, I can determine the level of instruction from rudimentary to advanced writing skills. I can tailor my approach and materials to individual student needs.I provide practical instruction designed with student progress in mind.I can help with writing skills from basic grammar,vocabulary,and spelling through paragraph structure, expressing ideas,analyzing literature and the various other related writing skills. I enjoy tutoring students who are intent on improving their writing and reading comprehension skills for college or business.
