I hold a Single Subject Teaching Credential in English and a B.A. in British & American Literature. I’m passionate about helping students become stronger, more confident readers and writers.
As an English and writing tutor, I help students improve their essays, understand literature more deeply, and develop the critical thinking skills they need to succeed in school. My goal is not only to improve grades, but also to help students communicate their ideas clearly and effectively.

What an amazing experience!
Doreen helped me interpret an assignment I had for school. I had no clue on how to interpret the assignment or how to even approach the task. Thanks to Doreen's expertise I was able to understand what the Professor was expecting thus I was able to complete my assignment. Moreover, Doreen went above an beyond by squeezing me in her schedule when I contacted her only a few hours before the assignment was due. She jumped right on it and I was able to meet my deadline. I highly recommend Doreen to anybody looking for someone with experience, patience, and flexibility.

Knowledgable and caring tutor.
I had a great experience working with R. Doreen. She helped me with my statement of purpose for graduate school and I am much more confident with my chances of being accepted after working with her. You can tell that she really cares about teaching english and put a lot of thought on little details for my essay. She also was willing to work with me over the phone despite having the flu, which was very helpful because I was in a time crunch. I would highly recommend R. Doreen, especially with help on college admission essays.

Best Tutor Ever
Doreen takes her job very seriously. She is a very well-rounded tutor, the best one I have ever had. I needed to write an essay that was worth 50% of my grade and the instructor was a very hard grader so I asked Doreen for help. I sent her all the class notes, she read them all, and then I gave her a sloppy copy of my essay and she helped organize all my thoughts and helped me clean up my paper. I ended up getting an 'A' on the essay and the instructor said he enjoyed reading it. Doreen is the best because she learned all my class materials and helped me organize it all into the essay. Doreen also helped teach me self-discipline and time-management, which she did not have to, but she cares. So, she is willing to go above and beyond to help anyone. She is great at what she does.
