Experience

I have been tutoring English for 4 years I have taken a wide array of classes during my undergrad which has expanded my literary knowledge. These range from course in British Lit and American Lit to a concentrated Honors Seminar on Early Women's Writing. My essay writing skills are very polished; I find it easy to relate the steps to writing a successful essay to my students with ease. I am deft at researching, analyzing, communicating, and multi-tasking. I chose to be a tutor, initially, because I felt it was simply a necessary step towards becoming a college professor, and while that is still my ultimate goal, I cannot deny the utmost passion and joy I attain from being able to imbue knowledge upon a student.

Hobbies

I am an outgoing person who loves to meet new people. I love to spend my free time reading, and working on short stories. I find that working with any student opens up entirely new horizons of unexplored literary territory, and as such I am always glad for the chance to explore the possibilities that lay ahead.
