I provide one-on-one tutoring in the areas of reading and writing. As a high school English teacher, I primarily work with high school students, but I am happy to support students of any ages and abilities with their English classwork and reading and writing skills. Common areas I help support are reading comprehension strategies, writing composition structure, literary analysis and critical thinking, basic writing conventions (i.e. spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc.), test prep, and college application essays. History Established in 2015. I have been a high school teacher for over six years and began doing formal private tutoring in the fall of 2015. Over that time I have enjoyed being able to offer my knowledge and experience to help students with the extra individualized help they may need.
My name is Adam Hicks and I'm a high school teacher in Napa where I teach English and Yearbook. I have experience teaching students of all ages, but most of my experience has come at the high school level. I enjoy one-on-one tutoring as a way to provide more individualized support for students that may be difficult to receive in the classroom. Simply put, I enjoy teaching and finding different ways to do it. I graduated with my B.A. in English from Saint Mary's College (Moraga, Calif.) in 2006 before going on to earn my M.Ed. in Secondary Education with a focus on Curriculum and Instruction from Arizona State University in 2008. Aside from my experience in the classroom, I played baseball my whole life and was fortunate enough to play four years at the collegiate level. While my playing days are done, I now enjoy coaching and providing individual lessons to players of all ages and abilities. I also worked in the athletic communications industry at two Division I universities.
