Nolan B.

Private tutor in Irvine, CA

Education

BA; Interdisciplinary Studies, Humboldt State University MA; English - The Teaching of Writing w/ TESOL minor

Experience

I worked many years in various Writing Centers specializing in one-on-one help with writing. Besides being comfortable in the tutoring arena, I am also an excellent ghost writer (you tell me what you want to say and I translate it into the academic register), editor, and proofreader. My MA degree is specifically in The Teaching of Writing, and I did my Master's Thesis on Sentence Construction (how to build elegant sentences). I have also worked extensively with foreign language learners, and I am very familiar with the nuances of tutoring for that population (language mechanics, idioms, euphemisms, etc).

Up to 20 minutes away for no additional charge

Hobbies

My experiences and training run the gamut. I love the outdoors, and taught a short stint in a Nature Writing class. I especially love REALLY BIG TREES! As a writer, I was invited to climb an Old Growth Redwood to write about the experience. I loved it so much, that I became a Forest Canopy Ecologist, climbing dozens of the most impressive trees in the world, including most recently The President Tree (Giant Sequoia). Ya. That's me on the cover of December 2012 National Geographic. (My name appears on the 6-panel fold out photo.) What an honor.
