"Hello, I'm Linda! I am a certified teacher of Multiple Subjects, including Math and Reading with 20 years of classroom experience teaching grades 6-8th for Alhambra Unified Schools, recently substitute teaching for Arcadia Unified Schools, and administering state proficiency tests for Alhambra’s English Language Learner programs. I privately tutor grades 5th-12th English, grades 5th-9th Math. I completed my teaching credential at California State University, Los Angeles, with a 4.0, on top of my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from the University of Indiana, Bloomington.

As a former public-school teacher, I have knowledge of how the school systems work and extensive experience working with students of all different types and learning abilities. I am a firm believer in scaffolding the material students are working on, which is a strategy that builds student comprehension upon steps they’ve mastered previously. The goal of a scaffolded teaching style is for students to gain independence and confidence in the subject they are learning, and to also foster a sense of joy and accomplishment in the learning process!

I have honed my teaching skills to a fine craft and combine a love of supporting students with my own tutoring service to provide a high-quality learning experience. My years in the classroom at Alhambra USD as well as private tutoring make me highly qualified to help students efficiently and enjoyably reach their educational goals." less...
