Teal Arbor Stories

Mentoring: This service is for any individual who wants to receive supportive guidance working one-on-one with an experienced writer. Individual mentoring is a way for somebody to engage more deeply with her own creative potential, gaining appreciation of her inner nature. Therefore, we might focus on journaling techniques or creative expression as means of deepening one's writing. Learning how to let one's writing emerge from the core self is a goal of mentoring. Over all, mentoring supports the processes of the writer as well as the process of writing.
Editing: Traditional editing services are available. The level of editing (light, moderate, or heavy) depends upon the needs of the writer in tandem with a professional assessment of the document's readiness.
Tutoring: For those who want to improve general writing skills, to apply critical thinking in writing, and to hone the ability to proofread and edit one's own work, tutoring is recommended. Whether one considers himself a novice writer or a professional, I will be a guide through every step: from idea generation to first drafts, editing, revisions, final drafts and polishing. Tutoring is different from mentoring in that it is more solely focused on the writing outcome.
Workshops: TEALarbor stories offers half and full day workshops upon request. Small groups who want to participate in a workshop together can arrange a special time and location with the facilitator. Choose from the following:
Writing for Insight workshops focus on process writing. Individuals in the group explore their inner landscape through directed writing activities, coming to understand themselves in novel, richer ways. Writing as Rite workshops use simple rituals, symbols and metaphors as the foundation for writing. Participants spend time out in nature and with creative materials doing guided writing practices. Writing for Outcome is very focused written work for a group that wants to explore together a specific type of writing such as memoir, a particular kind of journaling, travelogues, research or interview documentation, etc.
Wonderful Writing For You!
Are you struggling with your written assignments? Need help with your report or thesis? I am an ex-university professor who can help you understand how to bring your writing to the next level. I work via email and in person to show you how to make improvements to your work and raise your writing ability (and grades!). Reasonable rates and fast turnaround on critiquing / correcting written assignments. Evening and weekend hours for one-on-one tutoring. Email me at [email protected].
Specialists in Learning Disability
Kelly Tutoring by Liz Kelly and Allie Kelly
We are two private tutors in our later 20's who specialize in K-8 grade tutoring. Although we typically work with students in K-8, we are also able to help high school students in English and History, Study Skills, Organization and Paper Editing. We both graduated with AA's and bachelor degrees and are now pursuing masters' degrees and teaching credentials in Education. We both currently work for the Davis School District in Special Education but have spent hours in every grade level classroom. We work with children that have anything from lack of study skills and organizational problems to students with learning disabilities like ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia. We typically work after school at the Yolo County Library in Davis. Both sisters grew up in Davis and went all the way from kindergarten to high school graduation so she understands the pressure put under Davis kids at any age. We offer a free consultation meeting with both the parents and the child to be tutored before tutoring even starts so you can decide if we are the right fit for you! We charge $25 for one session a week. Each session is 55 minutes and we use a system of communication notebooks between parents and tutor, prize reinforcement and constant and non judgmental communication between tutor and the student. We don't have a lot of spaces left so please contact us quickly as tutoring times tend to fill up! We start most of our sessions (which may already be taken, so ask for a particular time(s) available from 2:30 -6:00 at the Davis Public Library on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays (We start at 1:30) and Thursdays (Fridays/weekends/and evenings may also be available; just ask!). For more information, please e-mail Liz at [email protected] and leave your phone number so we can call you back! We look forward to meeting you!
*Summer Tutoring is available at all hours! Please e-mail [email protected] for more information! We ARE filling up fast so contact us! We do a free assessment and discussion with both parents and the child needed to be tutored so we can figure out the best curriculum and the best way to "fit" your child in. We are able to travel to your home or meet at the Davis Public Library*

Grant Acosta
I have over 20 years of math teaching experience, including 5 years at the high school level. For the last 16 years, I have worked at the Student Academic Success Center at UC Davis tutoring students in Algebra, Trig., Pre-Calc (Math 12) and Calculus (16ABC, 17ABC and 21ABCD). If you are a UCD student, I am very familiar with curriculum in these courses, and I also know the styles of many of the professors who teach them. I can help you maximize not only your understanding of the material, but also your grade!
If you are a Davis High or Middle School student, you probably already realize that the math curriculum in Davis moves fast and is very challenging. I taught 5 years of high school math in a very similar school district, so I can quickly recognize the important concepts that you should know, and I can explain them clearly. I have had great success tutoring DHS students!

Christopher Bumgardner, PhD
Christopher received a PhD in mathematics from UC Davis in March of 2011. During his time as a graduate student, he was an instructor for a few math classes (21D, 22B, 16B) and a teaching assistant for numerous lower and upper division classes (all calculus upper and lower division, real and complex analysis, advanced algebra including linear algebra, topology, introduction to higher math, and more). Christopher also has been a private tutor for high school and college students since January of 2009. He has had a lot of success with helping students with anything from just getting through a math test to pinpointing weak areas in a student's mathematical knowledge. Christopher puts a very conscious focus on finding learning styles of a student and then adapting his teaching style to accommodate. A lot of the time, Christopher finds he ends up helping students learn math by helping relieve math anxiety, and then the student's mathematical abilities, whether past knowledge or present understanding of concepts, can thrive.
You can contact Christopher to set an appointment for a tutoring session by email (preferred): cjbumgardner(at)gmail(dot)com; or by phone: 530-848-0245.

BarnabasTruman
Barnabas has about a decade of experience in the classroom teaching mathematicks at every level from arithmetic through differential equations, so he knows all about how you were taught the wrong way in the first place and can help you put the puzzle in your brain back together. He also has a bachelor's degree in math, a master's degree in teaching math, and a teaching credential (all from UCD), and has taken many of the math courses that UCD offers. You might recognize him by his cape, beard, staff, wizard hat, abacus, wand, and contagious enthusiasm for mathematicks. If you see him on campus or in town, stop and ask him about different levels of infinity. He is currently teaching full-time and is too busy for regular private tutoring, but would be happy to answer a question or two if you track him down in person.

Animal Science and Biology Tutors:
Jill Hagey, MS
I have a BS in Cell Biology, MS in Animal Biology and currently am working on a PhD in Animal Biology with a designated emphasis in Host-Microbe Interactions. I have been a teaching assistant for Animal Science courses and BIS 2A (Both honors and regular sections) for the past 2 years. My strengths are in tutoring for students in biological sciences, molecular and cellular biology, animal science, genetics and microbiology courses.
I rely on the student to direct me to where their weakness are and what they need help with. However, I commonly find a barrier to success is a student not understanding what they don't know and by questioning their knowledge base we can determine areas of focus. My strengths are an ability to give non-scientific analogies for scientific concepts to demystify complex problems. I consider myself not just a tutor for helping a student pass a test/class, but a mentor in scientific thinking and practical application.
