Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced English Tutoring

Literature: During literature courses, students will be analyzing and interpreting different forms of fictional literature. This will help them understand the fundamental aspects of literature as an art form. We will be reading poems, prose, short stories, novels, novellas, and plays to develop close reading skills. Like an AP Literature class, students will dissect the work and write their analyses.

Writing: During writing courses, students will have the option to focus on essay writing, creative writing, and business writing. With essay writing, we will be practicing different and effective techniques to successfully abide by the rubric provided. (Ask that the student have a copy of the rubric during the lesson). With creative writing, we will be enhancing skills in vocabulary, sentence structure, literary techniques, and plots (involving characters, settings, themes, and messages) to build fictional poetry, prose, novels, and plays. With business writing, we will be building and adapting resumes as well as learning how to write professional emails.

Language Arts: During Language Arts courses, students will learn how vocabulary, grammar, and composition create effective arguments. This course will mainly focus on writing arguments through rhetorical, cultural, and contextual lenses. Additionally, students will be able to practice public speaking to improve their overall argumentative skills. Like an AP Language and Composition class, students will read nonfiction to develop an argument that explains ideas, argues a point, or persuades readers.

Conversational: During conversational English courses, non-native English speakers will be advancing their understanding of the language. Students will be learning practical and conversational skills that improve vocabulary, conventions, and grammar. Lessons will cover reading, writing, and speaking for everyday life.

As a tutor, I wish to tailor each of my classes to my students' interests and educational needs. Each lesson will be different from the rest and custom for each student, depending on their levels of proficiency.

About Me

Hello! My name is Jessica and I'm super excited to be your tutor! I'm currently a full-time student at San Diego State University. I'm an active member of two running clubs and a co-president of a prospective Recognized Student Organization called the Creative Collective Magazine.
In my free time, I love to write fiction, read novels, and spend time in nature. I enjoy going on walks, hikes, and runs, and I've even completed a full marathon. During my lessons, I'd love to talk about our interests and incorporate them into the material we are covering!

Education

Full-time student at San Diego State University with a major in English Single Subject Teaching and a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies with the Weber Honors College. I'm pursuing a California Teaching Credential as well as a TEFL certificate.
In high school, I took 8 AP courses, 1 IB course, and passed 7 exams.

Experience / Qualifications

Although I haven't had formal tutoring experience, I have worked in classrooms as a student helper. I would aid students with their homework, learning skills, and organizational skills. This opportunity encouraged me to pursue a teaching career which is how I'd like to expand my expertise and gain knowledge for future endeavors.

Dutch lessons for children
I teach Dutch to children, adapted to the level of the child, the age and the goals that wish to be achieved. The lessons can be given entirely in Dutch, or with explanations and translations in English where necessary (if the child speaks English). With young children I often use cheerful images, games and songs to learn the language in a playful way. From experience, this also works fine online, via video calls. If you send me a message, we can discuss the options together. Tambien puedo dar las clases con traducciones en español.
