Hi! My name is Jessi and I love a good math problem. For me, working through a math problem can be a fun, but challenging way to work my brain.

After I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor?s degree in education and a minor in math, I tau... Read more

Hello parents, I'm Karen K., an English and reading teacher of 31 years, with an M. Ed. from UC Berkeley. Since 2006, I've used kid-friendly neuroscience to lift dyslexic and near-dyslexic kids to grade-level reading. Perhaps it is right for your child too. We can find out by talking and perhaps doing a simple assessment. (No charge.) A Stanford University brain study shows that this neuroscience strategy normalizes children's brains for reading in 45 to 60 hours (9-12 weeks). Let me se... Read more

I have a great deal of experience tutoring students in both literary comprehension as well as academic writing at a variety of levels but primarily in introductory college writing and above.

I am a native of Tucson, Arizona and lived almost all of my life here. I have a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D in Spanish Literature from the University of Arizona.

I am currently a full-time GED teacher and I have a very high completion rate (usually a student gets their GED in 2-3 months). I work with minors and adults who have dropped out at eighth or ninth grade. I give them tips for taking tests and show them tricks to learn the material faster. I am positive and I create a learning environment that encourages students to learn. I have taken students from not being able to read all the way through their GED and into college classes....
