• Literacy Tutor

  • Oct 2010 - Jul 2011

  Once a week I work with Leo, a man in his mid 50s who plans on entering a local community college soon. He wants to improve his reading and writing as much as possible before he enrolls, so that is where we focus during our weekly sessions. He reads constantly on his own, and picks out several articles he had trouble comprehending for us to review together. Most weeks he also writes a short paragraph, which I then revise with him. I focus on the principles of good writing: be concise, use active verbs, correct style and sentence structure, etc. Show less

• Tutor

  • Sep 2010 - Jul 2011

  • At Alianza, a K-8 public school, I was a teacher's assistant, tutor, and coach. During the day I worked with small groups of students to improve their reading, writing and math skills, which required close collaboration with classroom teachers. Watsonville is about 95 percent Latino; most students speak English fluently as a second language, but many struggle in reading and writing. I also conducted reading assessments, tutored struggling readers, assisted in the school’s garden club, and helped coach the boys and girls basketball teams, and the flag football team.
