About
At Las Positas College in Livermore, California, I instruct in both English and martial arts. Specifically, I focus on enhancing students' reading comprehension abilities, their competency in composing essays (including the development of thesis statements, sentence and paragraph structure, as well as the proper use of MLA and APA styles), and their analytical and critical thinking skills. For those who are further along in their studies, I offer more comprehensive lessons in literature analysis and rhetoric.Regarding martial arts, I teach Setchu Ryu Jujutsu, which involves a combination of techniques from Japanese jujutsu (employing small joint manipulation, chokes, and throws), Filipino Martial Arts (incorporating the use of knives, sticks, and hand-to-hand combat), and Hawaiian Lua (including additional unique elements).

Ray has a knack for simplifying the fundamentals and making them memorable. Learning basic martial arts/self-defense can sometimes be overwhelming, but Ray has succeeded in establishing a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Several times I have been instructed by Ray, whose extensive understanding of various art forms and long experience make him an exceptional educator. His remarkable precision is evidenced by his aptitude in imparting the proper form, technique, and discipline necessary to become proficient in the martial arts.

Raymond Park possesses exceptional critical reading and writing skills, making him an excellent resource for a wide range of English strategies. He substantially improved my essay writing abilities by strengthening my thesis statements, organizing my papers, and providing valuable feedback. While studying at Las Positas College, his text-based group discussions made a significant impact on my learning. Even as a UCSD graduate, I still seek his advice on school application essays and educational discussions. His knowledge and teaching abilities have equipped me with long-lasting skills. I highly recommend his services for all your reading and writing needs.
