Experience
Hello, Prospective Students, My name is Callie, and I love working one-on-one with you! I have a BA in Classical Latin and an MFA in Creative Writing from the world-famous University of Iowa Writers' Workshop (considered the "Harvard" of writing schools). I also have a Masters in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. In addition to tutoring, I'm a counselor. I used to run an after-school learning center in Downey, CA, where I tutored students for 17 years in verbal skills. I also taught Classical Mythology--my favorite subject!--for one semester at USC. Believe it or not, I LOVE to tutor the ACT English section and have taught it for years. You CAN increase your ACT English score! There are really only a handful of essential rules. I pride myself on giving clear instruction and explanations and love working with all kinds of students. I've also tutored both creative and formal writing for years. I especially LOVE helping seniors with their college essays! I live in Pasadena and have a great conference room in the lobby of my exceptionally nice apartment building. I'm also happy to come to your home (schedule permitting), and Skyping is ALWAYS an option! I'm friendly, easy to get along with, and I love to share my knowledge with you and to learn from you as well.
