Experienced Tutoring

As a facilitator for MedCOR -- a tutoring program which prepares L.A. area junior high and high school students for the medical profession -- I know what it takes to be an effective tutor. I've also tutored local elementary school kids in reading, writing and math. I'll go at the pace that best suits you; all I ask is that you're as dedicated to learning the material as I am to teaching it. I charge $5 an hour for elementary school students, $10 an hour for junior high and high school.

English

I tutor English at all levels, from basic writing skills to research papers, college essays, resumes, creative writing. If you've got a paper you'd like some help on, email it to me and I'll send you my comments, free.


Latin

I studied Latin for four years, translating Cicero, Ovid and Pliny. Learning Latin is a great way to improve your English vocabularly and a great starting point for learning Italian, French or Spanish.


Science, Math

Bring your textbook, homework and any questions you may have. Everyone can understand algebra, trigonometry, or physics, you just have to take it at you own pace.


AP Music Theory

Review ear training, tonal harmony, counterpoint, figured bass, and test taking strategy. As a music major at USC, I've had years of this stuff, so I can answer any questions you may have. Musicians: please visit my music page.


SAT Tutoring

Get into the best college you can. We'll review vocabularly, analogies, mathematics, and do a plethora of sample tests!
