Grace Lee
Berkeley, CA

Recent UC Berkeley Graduate, English Tutor

I have fostered my lifelong passion for and knowledge of the English language and Anglophone literature at the University of California, Berkeley. After writing numerous essays and analyzing various literary works, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a 3.98 GPA. Aside from my major-related coursework, I edited poetry as an associate editor for the Berkeley Poetry Review and the student-run journal, To An Unknown God. I have further applied my expertise in the subject of English by tutoring different age groups of diverse backgrounds. With the company Ringle Inc., I taught English to non-native speakers—from elementary-school students to those in college and even working professionals—according to their individual skill levels and learning styles. At the YMCA in Downtown Berkeley, I helped high schoolers write, revise, and edit their personal statements (known as "personal insight questions") for admissions to campuses in the University of California university system. By studying the written word, people learn how to express themselves more accurately, comprehensibly, and richly. This skill can build their confidence and sense of power, as they come to understand better themselves and others in the medium of language. I want to help students experience such meaning and significance in the works they read and the writing they produce, as I have, in my own work involving the English language.

Elijah Miller
Oakland, CA

Cal Poly City and Regional Planning Major, experienced chess player, experienced pianist.

For the past 13 years, I have immersed myself in the enchanting world of piano playing, developing a solid foundation and a comprehensive set of skills. Through dedicated practice and continuous learning, I have achieved the esteemed Certificate of Merit up to level 7, showcasing my commitment to excellence in piano performance. My musical journey initially revolved around classical piano, delving into the works of renowned composers and honing my technique. This experience has ingrained in me a deep appreciation for the beauty and intricacies of classical music. As a result, I have cultivated a strong understanding of musical interpretation, dynamics, and phrasing, enabling me to bring out the true essence of the pieces I perform. In recent years, I embarked on an exciting exploration of jazz music. Joining my high school band allowed me to embrace a different side of piano playing, expanding my repertoire and improvisational skills. This transition has not only diversified my musical abilities but has also instilled in me a passion for experimentation and creative expression. Throughout my musical journey, I have accumulated countless experiences in learning music theory and mastering a wide range of piano pieces. From scales and arpeggios to complex compositions, I have delved into the intricacies of musical theory and applied it to my own playing. This extensive knowledge equips me with the necessary tools to guide students in understanding the underlying structures and concepts behind the music they are learning. As a piano tutor, I offer a unique blend of expertise in both classical and jazz piano. This allows me to cater to the diverse musical interests and aspirations of my students. Whether they wish to master the works of classical masters or explore the realms of improvisation and jazz, I can provide tailored instruction and guidance to help them achieve their musical goals.
