Hello! I'm a graduate of UC Berkeley where I majored in English Language and Literature, with a focus on contemporary writing and analysis of modern media. I've always had a passion for reading and writing that dug its way into most aspects of my life.

I have a passion for helping people find and share their unique perspectives, especially in writing. I know that everyone has their own personal voice and it's my goal to help refine and improve those, but keep them authentic and genuine to each person.

I studied English at UC Berkeley, which has one of the premier English departments in the country. I focused on newer and more modern literature, having focused on recent Pulitzer Prize winners and new novels.

I was also a features writer for Collider, an entertainment website with a focus on television and movies that highlighted unique and personal perspectives in each article.

I was a writer for the Daily Californian, UC Berkeley's independent, student-run newspaper. I have several articles published online and experience working with different editors each with their own style of feedback.

I interned for a year at an Immigration Non-Profit where I worked one-on-one with clients to write their declarations for court records. I am able to help streamline and proofread people's writing without changing their own personal style, keeping their work authentic to themselves even as it's refined.

I also spent a semester teaching a Leadership Development class for my pre-law professional organization, Kappa Alpha Pi. I taught other university students professional skills, ranging from resume formatting, cover letter writing, public speaking, and interview skills.

Please feel free to reach out to me so that we can talk and figure out the tutoring style that works best for you! I like to personalize how I work with every person, so I am very interested in having a complimentary meeting where we can assess your goals, specific obstacles, and how I can best help you.

I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in English Language and Literature, and because it was relatively recent, I'm not so far removed from having taken AP English classes in high school.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I was the Leadership Development Chair for my pre-law professional fraternity where I taught other university age students professional skills such as public speaking, resume and cover letter writing, and interviewing skills. I also completed several public speaking courses in summer educational programs. I also have a degree in English Language and Literature that contributes to my skills as a speech writer and editor.

Salsa Dancing

I spent 4 semesters teaching a Salsa and Bachata dance and history class at UC Berkeley. I was also in charge of planning the history and culture curriculum to the course in addition to the active dance portion. I was also President of Salsa at Cal, UC Berkeley's largest latin dance club.

Excellent Tutor – Knowledgeable, reliable, and Supportive

Emmanuel has been teaching my son reading and writing for over a month now, and both my son and I are very pleased with him. He is knowledgeable, responsive, communicative, patient, and always well-prepared. He thoughtfully tailors each lesson to my son’s needs. Whenever I ask questions or make suggestions, he listens carefully, responds thoughtfully, and incorporates them into the next session. I’m very glad I found him through Wyzant and look forward to many more lessons with him for my son.

Excellent!

Goes above and beyond, Highly recommend! Tailors sessions to our daughter’s specific needs. This says it all but Wyzant requires 160 characters to post a review so here is the additional review volume, so we can post.
