Introduction: Twenty-seven years as an English teacher in the San Diego Unified School District makes me uniquely qualified to help students improve their reading and writing skills. Thirteen years as an English as a Second Language teacher means I know how to teach anyone in the world to communicate better in English. What else sets me apart? In a word...enthusiasm! I love teaching and it shows. My students and clients know that I truly care about them. I love seeing that "aha" look in my student's eye when he or she has a breakthrough in learning.

We hired Angela in September to tutor our 10-year-old son. Immediately, we were impressed with how well she got along with him. The first session, he asked if she could stay longer! Throughout several months of Angela working with our son, we have been very pleased with her flexibility of scheduling (sometimes we had to change dates and times due to afterschool appointments), punctuality, and reliability. We learned that when Angela says she will show up, she does on time and ready to get to work. Whenever we needed to get in touch with her, Angela was available by text or phone call, and she responded promptly. She also gave us valuable feedback on how the tutoring session went, so that we could address any issues immediately. Our son's test scores have improved and we couldn't be happier. We have tried other tutors Angela is the best!

Carrington is so nice and so patient! My son really understands how she teaches the English material he needed help with. She was in time and extremely professional. I will continue to use her for her English expertise to help out my son. Thank you!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
According to the research I did three years ago when I started my business, a language school typically charges $70 per hour for a private session and requires a 10 session commitment, paid in advance. I charge half that, and sessions are pay-as-you-go.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I explain what to expect from me and find out what my client's goals are. Then we dive right in!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in English and American literature. I am fluent in Spanish and have a CLAD teaching credential that allows me to teach both native English and non-native English speakers. I am also GATE (gifted and talented education) certified, which means that I may teach mentally gifted students.
