I am an experienced tutor in Walnut Creek and am available
for summer tutoring for your third through eighth grader.
I teach reading, writing, and thinking skills in a way
that is relevant to each child. Learning can be fun! If
your child needs a little bit of a catch-up during the
summer, or you would just like him or her to stay involved
academically, tutoring can be a great compromise between a
regular summer school and nothing. I am a creative,
flexible and experienced teacher who is committed to the
success of each student. I prefer to work in my home but
would consider coming to your local address. Please
contact me for rates and times. Thank you.

Does helping your child with homework often result in
conflict? I give parents the tools to alleviate this
conflict, and to increase cooperation. With students, I
provide homework help, and I use a variety of research-based
techniques, including multi-sensory instruction, to teach
the basic skills and strategies required for academic
progress. As an experienced learning specialist, I have
designed specific instruction for children with learning and
behavior challenges, and I am able to assist with
identifying specific learning problems. Call for a free
consultation (510) 367-4930, or email: aripke@yahoo.com. I
love to teach, and I would love to help you!

Words and story are at the center of my life as a long-
published novelist, magazine writer, and former college
and high school English teacher. Using creative nonfiction
techniques, I coach high school seniors in the writing of
college essays that make admissions officers' eyes light
up. Together we find a compelling topic and develop a
structure. We edit, polish, and proofread. The student
writes a story that conveys a personal passion, reveals so
much more than the dry facts of the application, and moves
her paperwork from the ''Maybe'' to the ''You betcha!'' pile.
Students I've coached have been accepted at multiple tops
colleges of their choosing. For more information, call

Hello. I'm a professional freelance journalist (SF
Chronicle, EB Express), writing tutor, and former Oakland
high school writing teacher. I have five years of teaching
experience and more than seven years of professional
writing experience. I've tutored a wide age and ability
range of students. As a professional writer, I bring a
real-life experience to my teaching. Regardless of the
assignment, I want my students to have a personal stake in
their work while also fulfilling the assignment's
requirements. I emphasize the brainstorming and
organization process, and work patiently through editing
in a way that helps students hear and identify their own
mistakes.
If you'd be interested in learning more about me, or wish
to hear from my references, please don't hesitate to
contact me. Thanks for your time.

I am a recent graduate of UC Santa Cruz with a B.A. in
Linguistics and French. During my time at the university, I
worked with writing professor Brij Lunine as a writing
assistant for college students. I met with students both
individually and in group settings where we worked on
brainstorming, organizing and editing papers. I would love
to tutor students in the Bay Area to help them improve their
writing skills. Because I graduated from UC Santa Cruz last
Spring, I am very familiar with MLA formatting and other
standards of high school and college writing. I could help
students with school papers, research, test preparation and
college applications. I am also happy to teach traditional
grammar lessons. I charge $25 an hour for individual lessons.

career as a college English professor and high school

extensively on both literature and teaching.
My students consistently raise their scores on SAT
retakes, sometimes as high as 250-300 points. I work on all
aspects of the verbal test--critical reading, essay
writing, and grammar/usage/vocabulary skills. I offer
rigorous, kid-friendly test preparation, with much more
individual attention and greater expertise than you will
find elsewhere. I can offer many references from families I
have worked with in the e.Bay. Reasonable rates.

Writing expresses who you are:
Too often writing is taught very mechanistically-- Introduction, 3 body
paragraphs, and conclusion. I start from the other direction from the inside,
writing from experience and from how a student engages a subject. Then we
develop from there how to enhance their writing by researching facts, spelling
correctly, and constructing a nice flow and organization. This comes in
especially handy on college admission essays that require a student to
express who he or she ''really is.'' I have a Ph.D. in education along with 20
years of experience in academic tutoring and coaching,
educating teachers as a professor, and researching how
self-esteem affects learning. I have worked with many
different ages (elementary through college), learning styles, and cultural
backgrounds. Rate: 60 - 100/hr, negotiable.

Hello,
I'd like to offer my tutoring services in English and/or French reading and
writing. I'm ideally qualified to work with children in elementary or middle
school, as my previous tutoring experiences have been within after school
peer-to-peer tutoring programs, but I'm equally willing to take on the
challenge of tutoring high school students.
As for my personal information, I'm a Lebanese citizen fluent in French,
Arabic and English. I attended Amherst College in Amherst, MA where I
earned a B.A. in English Literature, and I'm currently a graduate student in
Music at Mills College. I live in the Rockridge area, and I'm free most
afternoons/evenings of the week and all day on weekends.
Please feel free to contact me with questions and requests for references.
Best,

I am a senior English major at UC Berkeley and currently
work for CalCorps, UC Berkeleys public service center, as a
student director and literacy tutor for elementary and
middle school students.
My main areas of specialty are literacy, literature, and
writing . However, I am also qualified to tutor math
through Algebra 1, as well as all other subjects through
middle school.
Whether you have a child who is just learning to read or
are a high school or college student who needs help with a
paper, I can offer instruction based on multiple assessment
measures that I have found to work well for many different
kinds of learners. Along with my philosophy that teaching
must always first be learning, sessions favor a tailored
approach to each students needs rather than a generalized or
prescribed way of proceeding.
Please call or email me if you would like a copy of my

As a tutor of reading and writing, my qualifications are unique. A professional
writer for 20 years, I've written and created television dramas and films. I'm an
instructor at UCLA Writer's Program and have taught 16 classes-- subjects
such as discovering inspiration and writing an outline. My degree is in
psychology and my field work with adolescents/teens at risk. I'm the mother
of an 11-year old daughter with dyslexia and ADHD. We're a Montessori
family, which means ''follow the child'' and look for the teaching
opportunity. Kids like that I'm a ''real writer'' who can tell them ''cool stuff like
what it's like to write a movie for Usher.'' I work with kids who think they
can't do it or think writing is boring. My strength is developing self-esteem
and introducing the amazing world of ideas, self-expression and creativity. If
you want your child to find their passion for reading and writing, give them a
teacher who's passionate.

What makes an essay?
First, an idea.
Second, the clarity of its expression.
Third, the rigor of its argument.
Fourth, the vivacity of its language.
Fifth, its grammatical correctness.
Writing is a creative act and the creativity does not stop with the initial idea. It
extends through the whole writing process, bringing forward the freshness of
the thinking that goes into it. Grammatical correctness is not a straitjacket
that kills creativity. Grammar works throughout an essay to clarify,
strengthen, and vivify writing. Writing is a way of holding thinking still long
enough to make it deep, sharp, and original. Writing is thinking in its most
challenging form.
I have taught writing courses at Berkeley High and UC Berkeley. If you have a
student who would like help writing essays, college applications, or creative
work, please email me for details. My fees are $40.00/per hour plus travel for
home tutoring.
