Experience
I hold B.A. degrees in French Studies and Music from San Diego State University. I also hold a Master of Arts degree in French Literature from Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. I was once employed as an English teacher at the San Ysidro Adult School in California. I taught a wide range of topics, ranging from mathematics to English. I teach a wide range of topics I am partial to helping students master English, literature, and history coursework. I'm also available to tutor students requiring assistance with ACT and SAT standardized test prep, as well as the ISEE and CAHSEE exams. I'm able to tutor gifted students. I'm also available to tutor French 1-4. When I tutor, I think of the instructors who motivated me to progress and gain knowledge. I try to inspire my students just as they inspired me. Lessons can be fun and enjoyable, particularly if a tutor adapt lessons to help his or her students reach a personal goal. When I am not tutoring, I take time to write, listen to music, and pursue my interests in philosophy and history.
