Hello. Thank you for stopping by my profile. I know that there are many tutors on this site and that choosing the right one can be a challenge. Let me tell you why I just might be the right tutor for you. I love learning, and I have four college degrees to prove it. I have a BA in English and Communication, an MAT in Teaching (Secondary English), an MEd in Reading Education (which came with a Reading/Writing Specialist endorsement), and an EdS in Educational Administration and Instructional Supervision. I also have a Rank 1 in my field and hold consultant endorsements in both English and reading. I have been a high-school English teacher for 20 years, 17 of those years at the top-ranked public high school in my state. Throughout those years, I have taught many programs for elementary and middle-school students. I also have a vast amount of experience teaching college students (writing, reading, ACT, Praxis Core, CSET, CBEST, RICA, etc.).

I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so please let me know what time(s) work best for you. Thanks!

Smart, quick, and accurate

Rebecca is the reason why Grammarly will never suffice. She pays attention to your work and message, looking to help find grammatical or punctuation issues without eviscerating your style or message. She is a fantastic tutor whom I highly recommend.

Unbelievably Knowledgeable and patient.

Rebecca is a fantastic tutor - patient, knowledgeable and understanding of the needs of my daughter. We have scheduled a second session and can't wait to work with her again.

Attention to Detail

I was so happy to finally have a tutor that was well prepared, by creating a PowerPoint, just for me, with the topics I needed to go over for my CSET English Subtest II. =)

Rebecca is tutoring English writing and comprehension to my 3rd grade son. She is very punctual, very patient and pleasant to work with. My son had a few sessions with Rebecca and is very happy with her. I like how prompt she is with her scheduling and replies. Will definitely recommend her.
