Grace J.

Private tutor in Los Angeles, CA

Education

BA in English Literature at California State University, Northridge (Graduated 2011) Accelerated Teaching Credential Program Graduate 2011 at California State University, Northridge

Experience

I have been a private tutor since 9th grade, tutoring elementary, junior high, and high school students. I focus mainly on reading comprehension and writing, but also touch base on grammar and mechanics. I've taught 5th-8th grade English Literature at a private school for 3 years, and the experience has greatly expanded my sensitivity to the diverse learning group as well as the expectations of parents. I've completed my student teaching at both a junior high school as well as a high school. As a high school student teacher, I taught an 11th grade Honors English class simultaneously with a CAHSEE Prep English class. Through this experience, I was selected as a candidate for the Mary Snyder Student Teaching Award which I won at the end of the teaching year. I am bilingual in Korean, and understand the cultural aspects and needs of Korean parents.

Hobbies

I enjoy all expressions of art, and have used illustration as a means of connecting with the visual learners in my classes. I enjoy reading and hunting after all the local bookstores for the best finds. I am completely obsessed with my Yorkshire Terrier, and enjoy jogging regularly with her. I love experimenting in the kitchen, and baking goodies that are not only tasty, but also healthy (so the guilt doesn't come storming in so hard!). But most of all, I enjoy people. I find tremendous value in listening and building relationships with others no matter how large the age gap. I find it crucial to build a relationship with my students first before having them entrusting me with their education.
