About Les K.
I'm ready. Are you? My name is Les K. and I'm really excited to meet you! I have a BA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing and an MA in American Studies. As a long time teacher whose students go on to bigger and better things in life, I think my job is to make me unnecessary! You start where you are, we work on what you need to improve and then you go on into your life. I have been a tutor for more than 10 years and a teacher for over 20 years. I have helped my students to write papers/essays, poems and stories, college applications, compile resumes, write letters, answer questions on a wide variety of topics from the personal to the professional. I am curious, funny, interested in people and dogs! I love to cook, take photographs, and read. My students say I am smart, compassionate, thoughtful and have a crazy sense of humor. Let me know how I can be of help to you.

Experience
English teacher
Sep, 1991 - Jun, 2012Marlborough School Los Angeles
As a member of the English Department, I taught 9th, 10th and 12th grades. The school focuses on basics but takes the students to the highest levels of critical and creative thinking. The school is highly academic and supports each student in achieving her best in each academic subject.
