"Hello! I'm Ligia (pronounced LEE-hee-uh) or LV. I have over a decade of informal tutoring experience, which sprouted from my early love of teaching and learning. At CSUN, I majored in English - Creative Writing with a minor in Visual Arts, and I obtained my BA with honors and a summa cum laude GPA. During my last 2 years at CSUN, I worked at CSUN's LRC's Writing Lab, where I helped college students one-on-one and in small groups to refine their reading, writing and studying skills. In addition to tutoring, I am an aspiring novelist and fine artist. I have two creative works (a short story and an after-poem) published and a literary essay currently in the process of publication. Plus, I recently completed a mural commissioned by a local Trader Joe's.
To make the most of my tutoring services, I kindly ask for students to have their assignment and instructor's directions (if applicable) on hand, since these provide me with important background context. After getting acquainted with the student and their given task, I then ask what their concerns or struggles may be and create a custom agenda for the session. Whether it's starting a big project, touching up an almost finished one, or anything in between, I'm happy to help! También hablo español.
I strive to provide educational guidance with patience and a smile. My tutoring style involves open-ended questions, consistent check-ins, and an enthusiastic growth mindset. Feel free to contact me to work together; I look forward to being a part of your learning journey!" less...
