Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing

My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more

My final project was a tutoring program I created between my third-graders and a kindergarten classroom. In my... Read more

Robin
U.C. Berkeley English Tutor: Reading, Writing, Results!
I was a child who hated reading. I became an adult who devours books. That evolution gives me a unique insight into what's possible. Everyone is a reader. Everyone is a writer. We just need to cultivate the seeds within. While I've been a professional writer for 25 years, tutoring has always been my most rewarding work. I met weekly with a middle-school girl of immigrant parents who was struggling with vocabulary, grammar, and book reports. Through our partnership and her dedication, she we... Read more
