"I am an English and reading tutor with 15 years of teaching experience. I have a B.S. in Secondary Education, English, a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, and a reading endorsement. I have done in-home tutoring for one year and after-school tutoring for five years. I specialize in grammar, writing, literature, proofreading, study skills, and reading. I use a variety of teaching styles and will develop a system that works the best for your child to be successful. I am flexible and can accommodate most hectic schedules. I played the clarinet for 8 years and took private lessons for 4 years. I could help a student who is a beginner with care of instrument, reed and mouth positioning, reading music, practicing scales, and basic musical scores. I do not own a clarinet anymore, but am willing to purchase one if I find several students who are interested in lessons." less...
