About Donald

I am a retired California-credentialed English teacher and an experienced, caring tutor. My degrees are in public speaking and English literature, as well as my M.A. in Education. I am a lifelong student and love to learn about many subjects; I have studied history extensively and now write historical fiction novels. My specialty is teaching how to pass such tests as the ISEE, SAT/ACT, and the CSET. I am also a professional writer and editor of both fiction (mostly historical) and non-fiction (mostly business, education and travel), and can provide samples and testimonials for both. Most importantly, I strongly desire for every person I help, whether child or adult, to succeed and enjoy the fruits of his or her efforts. I am patient and encouraging, and try to make learning fun.
