Meet our Yorba Linda Tutoring Staff

It is with great pleasure to introduce Linda, a proud, professional writing teacher at Sylvan of Yorba Linda, CA. Over the course of 30 years in the educational industry as an academic and career advisor at CSU Long Beach, she assisted students in many areas such as essays for prestigious international scholarships and graduate-level writing pieces. She also taught reading/writing skills to a broad range of individuals including foreign students ranging from kindergarten through graduate school. Linda believes Sylvan Learning Center of Yorba Linda is the quintessential fit for tutors who are passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, as well as enhancing their self-confidence. Our enrolled students serve as a source of constant inspiration to her, for which it is a joy and honor for Linda to play an important role along their path to achieving their full potential.

Toby received his Bachelor of Science in Poli Sci/ Data Analytics from UCSD.
