About
Josh Schultz
English Teacher, Editor
San Francisco Bay Area
650-383-8112
I graduated from San Francisco State University with a Bachelors in English Literature. I have a passion for writing and a natural capacity for connecting with and teaching others. Becoming an excellent writer is not a mysterious process, yet it is difficult for many people.
I teach students to write at the college level and I also help them with their in-class papers. I am familiar with the standard body of literary works for both high school and college. My student's papers have been published in the Milpitas Post.
Teaching Experience
I have taught after school creative writing programs, teacher training programs, and privately tutored elementary, junior high, high school, and college students in writing since 2005.
Unlike many other English teachers, I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and a Professional Intuitive reader. I used to work as a software developer before that. I have a unique combination of skills and perspectives that many other editors and tutors simply do not have the time to learn. Although my therapy practice is a completely different business altogether, I do understand the motivational issues that many students have and how to create positive expectations about the writing process.
How a student phrases their ideas, expectations, and attitudes about the writing process greatly influences how successfully they write. I make sure students use positive, present (or progressive) tense language to describe their writing processes. This is one technique, among many, that helps keep their expectations about writing positive.
Because I have this advanced background, your student will be able to take a "step up" in their attitudes and motivations that underlie the writing process. I can quickly ascertain where a student needs help and what next steps they need to take.
