Experience
I earned my bachelor of arts in English at Oberlin College, and moved on to receive my MA. I'm currently working on my doctoral degree. I have experience mentoring students in advanced English classes in an individual setting. I have had success in helping students improve their composition skills and rhetoric, along with close reading comprehension, historical context, and persuasive arguments. This experience has prepared me to tutor students at a college level in any subject that involves writing essays, which tends to be pretty much any class other than math. I appreciate the opportunity to communicate with my students on an individual basis. The main reason I have decided to work as a professional tutor is that students that were in classes I previously taught had a habit of calling and asking me for additional assistance, so I figured I must be pretty good at it. When I tutor, I place myself more in the position of a guide, leading my student through discovering their subject with only as much of my help as they need. I clear things up for them, but let them do the learning, which will help them retain what they learn. In my spare time, I like to camp, read and write poetry, and play video games.
