Previously I taught high school English for 25 years with the last 10 years teaching English to all International Baccalaureate seniors.

I have been tutoring high school and college students for Wyzant for several years. Previously I taught high school English for 25 years with the last 10 years teaching English to all International Baccalaureate seniors. During the 25 years I taught regular, honors, college-prep, advanced placement, and International Baccalaureate students. Since retiring I have had private tutoring students and also was the English tutor for the Wichita State University athletes.

I especially try to simplify the learnng of grammar, punctuation, and writing to make the concepts as easy as possible to understand. In writing I can help with writing introductions with clear thesis statements, well-organized and developed paragraphs with assigned support, effective conclusions, in-text MLA citations and works cited pages; APA format; research including use of scholarly, peer-reviewed research sources; and proofreading/editing I can offer assistance with English papers including narrative, persuasive/argumentative, definition, cause/effect, comparison/contrast, research, analysis, argumentative, and literature analysis.

I am happy to offer help with particular assignments or papers or to plan an on-going approach to working on areas such as grammar, punctuation, writing, etc. I am open to single appointments or long-term tutoring. I welcome and question you may have regarding my techniques, etc.

Grammar

Grammar

I love teaching grammar and have been successful in teaching students everything from the basic parts of speech to the more sophisticated parts of the sentence, usage issues, punctuation, etc. I pride myself in working successfully with students who have been confused by earlier explanations of grammar. I can also focus on a specific mechanics area such as comma or semicolon usage.

As a former high school English teacher and college level tutor, I have experience teaching a wide variety of literary concepts including literary terms related to poetry, novels, drama, and short stories.

Extremely knowledgable and great teacher

Created outline about what to write essay on, as well as subpoints. Extremely helpful with writing process, and easier to put thoughts on paper. Has experience teaching so she understands how to help people.

Thanks for the nice review, Eric. You were great to work with, and I'd be happy to work with you again.

Amazing tutor

Linda is amazing to work with! I call her my “Grammar Angel”. She has been helping me brush up on my grammar. She is patient, caring, fun, and smart. I only wish I had Linda as a teacher when I was in school! Her lessons are always well planned and tailored to my needs. She is truly a blessing!

Diane , 4 lessons with Linda

Very helpful and kind!

Linda was great with my daughter. She caught on quickly to what her needs were and prepared for the next lesson. She was able to keep her engaged as well, which can be hard with a teenager!

Thanks very much for the positive comments. I enjoyed working with her and felt we worked well together. She made quick progress. Linda

Great tutor

helped with online schooling and assignments 10/10. Would recommend her for timely assignments and great responses. She’s great at explaining her reasoning and will gladly explain further if needed.

thanks so much for your kind comments

I enjoyed the session!

I’m excited about my next session. Linda is very patient and that helps me to know that it is ok to ask questions when I don’t understand. I think my writing style is as unique as I am, and learning to cite properly will make me a stronger writer.

thanks, Tanya, for the kind words, and I, too, am looking forward to another session with you.

Linda is very nice teacher.

Linda helps my son, 7th-grade to succeed in writing, grammar, and vocab. She is very nice, patient and works really well with my son. My son is really enjoying his lesson and getting improved. We will continue to seek her support.

Tutor responded:

Thanks, Carol, for your kind remarks. I really enjoyed working with you.

Amazing!

Linda obviously enjoys teaching. Her joy is evident as she encourages and challenges in balance. My 13-year-old was anxious to end the lesson and get to editing and creating! Reminds you the value of ‘your favorite’ teacher we all had.

Amy, 4 lessons with Linda
Tutor responded:

Thanks for the nice comments. I thoroughly enjoyed our session also.

Very knowledgeable and encouraging!

Linda has been responsive and accommodating from our first interaction. We emailed her some sample work and she incorporated in the session. My son felt like he learned today! He is eager to work with her tomorrow. We are very happy that she is working on exactly what he needs to cover for school.
