About Shannan
Hello! My name is Shannan, and I’ve been a tutor for over 20 years. Throughout that time, I’ve had the privilege of helping students of all ages grow in confidence and improve their academic performance—especially in English language and writing. In addition to tutoring professionally, I’ve personally guided three of my children through school and successfully supported one all the way to college. I understand the challenges students face, both in school and in building study habits, and I bring that same care and dedication to every student I work with. I hold an associate’s degree and have completed many advanced English and writing courses. My strength lies in my ability to explain complex concepts in a clear, patient, and supportive way. Whether you’re learning English as a second language, improving your grammar, working on essays, or just need extra help with reading or writing, I’m here to support you every step of the way. My goal is simple: to help you succeed. I believe that with the right guidance and encouragement, every student can reach their full potential—and I’d be honored to be part of your learning journey.

Hi! I specialize in helping students of all ages improve their English skills—whether you're working on writing assignments, brushing up on grammar and spelling, or learning English as a second language (ESL). I also offer support for native speakers of Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese who are learning English.
My Teaching Method & Techniques
My approach is student-centered, flexible, and practical. I tailor each lesson to match your learning style, goals, and pace. Whether you’re a visual learner, prefer repetition, or thrive on real-world examples, I adapt my methods to suit your needs.
Lessons often include:
Clear explanations of concepts
Interactive exercises and games (for younger learners)
Real-world writing tasks (emails, essays, etc.)
Grammar drills and vocabulary expansion
Pronunciation and conversation practice for ESL learners
️ A Typical Lesson Plan
Each lesson is structured but adaptable. Here's a basic example:
Warm-up (5–10 min): Quick review or language game
Main Lesson (20–30 min): Focus on the day’s topic—writing help, grammar point, vocabulary theme, etc.
Practice Activity (10–15 min): Speaking, writing, or quiz-style exercise
Wrap-up (5 min): Recap, Q&A, and a mini-assignment or suggestion for next time
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
I’m experienced with multilingual students and can explain concepts in your native language when needed.
I focus on confidence-building, not just correction—mistakes are part of learning!
My lessons are engaging, goal-oriented, and encouraging—learning a language should feel empowering, not stressful.
I can create custom lesson plans, but also work with school curricula or exam prep as needed.
Who the Lessons Are For
School-aged children needing support with homework, spelling, or reading
Adults working on professional or academic writing
ESL learners from Spanish, French, German, Japanese, or Chinese backgrounds
Beginners through intermediate levels, and anyone who wants to improve their English communication skills
