I’m an English and writing tutor with experience working one-on-one with elementary, middle school, high school, and college students. I hold a B.A. in Creative Writing and Latina/Latino Studies from San Francisco State University, where I graduated cum laude, as well as an A.A.-T. in English. I’m currently completing an M.A. in Latin American Studies. I also served as an undergraduate instructional aide for a university Creative Writing course, where I evaluated student writing, provided detailed feedback, assisted with online course administration, and held virtual office hours.
My tutoring focuses on helping students become stronger, more independent readers and writers. I work with students on academic writing, essay development, organization, grammar, sentence structure, revision, reading comprehension, and critical analysis. Rather than simply correcting a student's work, I explain why a change is needed and help the student learn how to recognize and solve similar problems independently. I also support students with humanities and social studies coursework, particularly assignments involving reading, research, and writing. Spanish was my first language, and I am a heritage speaker with strong reading, writing, listening, and comprehension skills.
Every student has different strengths and challenges, so I adapt lessons to the student’s level, goals, and current coursework. Sessions may include guided practice, discussion, targeted exercises, feedback on writing, or step-by-step work through difficult material. My goal is to create a supportive but academically focused environment where students can ask questions, improve their skills, and become increasingly confident working on their own. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and see whether I would be a good fit.
