ACT & College Tutor | 6+ Years Experience | Proven Improvement

Angela A.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English (Linguistics), Magna Cum Laude, from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. My academic background supports my work tutoring English grammar, essay writing, reading comprehension, test preparation, and college readiness.
I have over six years of tutoring experience working with middle school, high school, and college students, including adult and nontraditional learners. From 2023 to 2024, I worked as a tutor at South Louisiana Community College, where I provided one-on-one and small-group tutoring, both in person and online.
While working as a research assistant in Ecuador, I also taught English to Indigenous K–12 students and mentored high school students on capstone projects. This combined with my experience supporting Deaf, ESL, Autistic, and differently abled learners has strengthened my understanding of learning and teaching in irreplaceable ways.
I understand that mental blocks are just as harmful to learning as information gaps, so I always focus on building confidence safely alongside content mastery. Across multiple semesters, students showed an average improvement of 1.7 letter grades, from fail to pass.
In addition, I have worked as an independent tutor since 2019, supporting students in math, English grammar, writing, literature, science, and history. I specialize in ACT prep, offering targeted instruction across all four sections. My students acheive an average composite increase of 6 points from their first to last test.
My teaching style is patient, empathetic, and student-centered. I take time to understand how every learner thinks, what feels confusing, and what may be affecting their confidence. I encourage curiosity, questions, and learning through clear explanations and supportive feedback, creating an environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and growing from them. I try to lead by example and I always hope my students will inherit the pride I feel for them!
