Hi there. Welcome to my newest blogspot… all about the

booming industry of test-prep and especially tutoring! My name is Linda, and I am a freelance tutor. I was an on-again

off-again tutor for a few years alongside my part-time job as an ESL teacher to international students in the Bay Area. In the past year, however, I have devoted more time as a tutor to fund my way through graduate school. I currently tutor elementary school students and high school students to help them with improving their reading, writing, and language arts comprehension to meet the Common Core standards. The more I tutor, the more I dive deeper into the art of tutoring and incorporating improvements of teaching strategies.

This blog is intended to inform current tutors, prospective tutors, as well as parents about the current practices and unique ways to spice up tutoring sessions. Education is always evolving, and tutors must accommodate to these changes in creative ways to engage the students and achieve results within a reasonable time frame. My personal goal is to blog more consistently and share my own observations as a freelance tutor about what works and what can be improved when considering various factors. I will also provide helpful resources that I find helps my own teaching.

Please engage in the posts and share any insights you may have.

Stay tuned for some upcoming insights!
