Miller Tutoring

History

I am an attorney who wanted to be a teacher. (I am a graduate of the University of Washington Law School, l973-l976; and I graduated from Sarah Lawrence College 1970). I graduated from Antioch/Seattle and earned a MA in Education, with emphasis on reading comprehension, fluency, and speed. Upon graduation, in l997, I began, first at a middle school, and then in 2000, I transferred to Franklin High School, the school from which I graduated. Over the years, I taught English, European History, Law and Society, and American Government. My students learned to write essays about literature and issues. Retiring in 20l0, I began this tutoring business in 20ll. I am excellent at teaching reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and application of rules of writing. I am also very successful with students across diverse racial, socio-economic backgrounds and with students who have diverse learning styles, including students with ADHD, ADD, and Gifted and Talented.
