I break down concepts into manageable chunks to illustrate how attainable learning can be for everyone. I believe that everyone can achieve great heights in education, and education is a worthwhile endeavor that will open doors. I am also a lifelong learner who is currently learning Spanish.

I have more than twenty years of experience in tutoring students. I have a particular passion for writing and working with English language learners. I break down concepts into manageable chunks to illustrate how attainable learning can be for everyone. I believe that everyone can achieve great heights in education, and education is a worthwhile endeavor that will open doors. I am also a lifelong learner who is currently learning Spanish. I have experience teaching ELL English at a local library and working as a substitute teacher for a local school system.

I have a master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and a CRLA Level II, Advanced tutor Certificate. I also hold a California emergency substitute teaching credential.

Many students are going through the school system, struggling and not understanding why. When I work with you, my goal is to discover that 'why' and remove it. There are people in education who can help you. You can be successful; let me show you how.

Knowledgeable, patient, and very effective tutor

Victoria is an excellent tutor. We have no problems understanding each other, and her explanations are always clear, specific, and easy to follow. One of the things I really appreciate is that she has experience with more than one language, so she understands the challenges people face when learning a foreign language. She is very attentive and adjusts the learning process individually based on my needs. The lesson feels easy and comfortable, but at the same time it is very productive and full of useful knowledge. I really appreciate her professional approach and would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their language skills

Understanding and Encouraging

Victoria helped tutor my middle school brother for ELA. She was extremely responsive and flexible. When needed, she prepared customized questions prior to the lesson time which were super helpful. She was also open to my feedback on the learning style so that we could hone in on the long term goals. I very much appreciate all the help Victoria has provided over the course of the school year.
