Experience
If you are looking for a tutor for help learning Italian, Russian, or English as a Second Language, I would love to work with you or your student. I taught English to Ukrainian students of all ages during my two-year stint as a Peace Corps volunteer. I shared my knowledge of English-speaking cultures with them and helped to prepare them for studying abroad. I have tutored students in the US in the basic courses of Reading, Writing, English Grammar and Syntax, and high school/college English, but also the more intense courses, such as AP English Language and Composition, College Essays, Comparative Literature, Essay Editing, and Public Speaking. I can help you or your student prepare for SAT Writing and Language, SAT Reading, PSAT Writing Skills, TOEFL, or GRE Verbal Reasoning. I have a Bachelor Degree in Literature/Writing from the University of California San Diego, and while there I tutored fiction and poetry-writing to other undergrads and received the honor of being invited to attend the university's first MFA poetry workshop. Outside of the classroom, I continue to read and write, and have recently discovered linocut printing. I love the outdoors, biking, hiking, and surfing. I have a new-found love of traveling the US and plan to see as much of it as possible.
