The Renaissance tutor: for the humanities and sciences
I studied both neuroscience and music at a liberal arts college (graduating magna cum laude). I have a voracious appetite for learning and I enjoy fostering that same natural curiosity in the students that I tutor.
Because I have a love for learning and sharing interesting information, I frequently led study groups, both large and small for my classes in college – including English, psychology, and neuroscience. I often proofread students’ papers to help students improve their grammar, clar…

Carey C. from West Covina, CA Sharon was great in helping my daughter with writing her essay. She really worked with her in finding depth in her own personality. She was on time and very professional. She worked around her schedule to make sure she could accommodate ours. I would definitely refer her and/or use her again in the future.
Andrea D. from Pomona, CA Sharon is an excellent tutor and has guided me in two of my writing classes. She has helped me in the brainstorming process, conceptualizing the prompts, developing and organizing my ideas, editing my paper, and helped me understand the importance of good note taking for research papers. Sharon has been punctual to all our meetings and I appreciate that she was able to accommodate her normal tutoring hours to a time more convenient for me.

Sharoon P. from Duarte, CA Sharon was very creative at teaching my sons how to improve in their study habits and projects. She was consistent, always on time, supportive, and positive. My sons responded very well to her techniques. In addition, she stayed on top of their projects and classes. We were very pleased with her.
Jeff W. from Arcadia, CA I would not describe my son as the type who struggles at school. However, it is frustrating to see a final semester grade of 89% knowing that extra 1% plays a very important role in his overall GPA and with college admission. I decided to get my son a tutor to help him get over the "B" hill. Sharon was exactly what we were looking for, not only was she knowledgeable tutoring Biology, my son really appreciated her patience and making the subject more fun and interesting to learn. I also really appreciated the fact that Sharon is willing to work with our schedule. There were times where a last minute school activity did not allow us to keep our previously scheduled time, upon receiving my text Sharon contacted some of her other students and made the switch to allow my son to do both. A "BIG THANK YOU" Sharon from my son and I for helping him get an A in Biology this semester. I will definitely recommend Sharon to anyone who needs tutoring that is covered by her subject area.
Christopher M. from Monrovia, CA She was great my 8 year old loved her and she made him very comfortable and improved each week. She made each lesson fun for him and excited when he figured out a word he didn't know.
Jacob L. from Temple City, CA Sharon is so very kind, patient and committed to her students. My son was recently diagnosed with ADHD, has a processing disorder and also recently had a minor head concussion that limited his ability to focus to top things off! Sharon sat with him for countless hours, sometimes giving up her days off for him! She asked very strategic questions that got him to cut through his confusing thought processes. My son was able to get his thoughts organized, able to write logically and creatively for his 10th grade English honors summer homework. They worked through three books and 9 journals in one month! I know it would have been impossible for my son to get this done by himself. My son also goes to a tutoring center in our area, but they were not able to provide him with the individual attention or effective strategies Sharon was able to! Sharon is very respectful and encouraging, using positive praise and cheering them on in such a nice way. Thank you soooo much! It was so much less stress for me! We will be continuing with Sharon the rest of this school year!
Susan K. from Arcadia, CA I asked Sharon to proofread my personal history statement for a graduate program. She was very helpful. She offered me great tips and suggestions to improve my statement.
