Experienced and Friendly Tutor for All Ages, with Teaching Certificate

Erin G.

I come from a long line of educators and hold advanced degrees in several languages, several literary traditions, and also in Christian ministry. Having graduated summa cum laude from UC Berkeley and then gone on to earn a teaching certificate, study on a Fulbright, and earn three masters degrees, I feel confident that I can help persons of all ages and from all walks of life: I have taught at the elementary, junior high, high school, and college levels, and have served districts as a language learning specialist, department chair and English and World Language Instructor. Additionally, I was a Stephen Minister for five years and a ministry intern for one year, where I preached and administered the sacraments. I value building strong relationships with each person and the mentors who have most inspired me serve as my current role models: they were accessible, available, provided ample feedback, and weren’t afraid to change course as my needs evolved. Just as important, they were receptive to the feedback that I gave them, and encouraging and non-judgmental. I welcome the opportunity to speak to you and to hear how I can best meet your needs or potentially collaborate with your organization. My writing and speaking have appeared in The Seattle Times, Slate, Wesleyan Theological Journal, among other outlets, and I have authored three acclaimed books.
