About Brian


Bio

I enjoy tutoring English, one-on-one, more than teaching classes, because I can more easily influence a student's progress. For 28 years, my students (including my daughter) have been from elementary school, high school, and college. They become excited about reading and writing, because they gain confidence. I have them explain their ideas and write them down as notes before they began to write papers, in order to encourage clear thinking and writing. These are all skills that will help...

I enjoy tutoring English, one-on-one, more than teaching classes, because I can more easily influence a student's progress. For 28 years, my students (including my daughter) have been from elementary school, high school, and college. They become excited about reading and writing, because they gain confidence. I have them explain their ideas and write them down as notes before they began to write papers, in order to encourage clear thinking and writing. These are all skills that will help them in their other classes, as well as in life. I am particularly passionate about helping students express themselves through writing, because it is an essential skill for any career. What could be more important than speaking and writing? My students learn to articulate their ideas to me, and how to organize those ideas into coherent writing.

I have a Master's in English and a Certificate in Teaching Writing and Reading from San Francisco State University's Graduate School.

I encourage all students to experience my method of teaching, especially those who are shy and/or have trouble speaking in class, because I struggled with these problems as a young student. This is why I am passionate in bringing out the best in each student. Schedule a first lesson (free) to see how you like my approach.

Approved Subjects

Reading

Reading

I have a Master's Degree in English as well as a Certificate in Teaching Writing (which includes teaching reading). My experience includes teaching reading at the Reading Lab at San Francisco State University and tutoring elementary students in reading, including my daughter.
Writing

Writing

I have taught writing classes at Ohlone College, as well as tutored many students, including those at Placitas (NM) elementary. I am particularly passionate about tutoring writing, because most schools only teach the structure of writing. Students need guidance about how to develop ideas and turn them into coherent writing.
