"I'm Claudia! I am a magna cum laude Belmont University graduate and current graduate school student! I majored in Sociology, minored in Writing, and I am now finishing my MA in Poetry from Queen's University Belfast. I love helping people, showing people that writing is for everyone, and being a supportive tutor. I am patient, honest, and very encouraging, and I know not everyone is naturally gifted in the writing department. However, I do believe everyone is capable of improvement when they're given attention, support, and realistic goals!

I was a volunteer tutor for elementary school students at the YMCA who were struggling with reading for a year.

I often find comparing "bad" and "good" examples makes the connection between theory and practice more apparent in writing. I put quotations around bad and good because I wholeheartedly maintain the belief that there is always room for improvement. The "bad" examples are not inherently bad; they simply need revision! I also believe it's important to remember there are no wrong or bad questions! If something is confusing, then it's confusing. I will never embarrass or shame a student for asking questions they might think are silly. We all have to start somewhere, and nobody is perfect!

I studied Sociology in undergrad, and I did a summer of advanced research on Cultural Theory, with a specific focus on Critical Race Theory. I am also passionate about Gender and took multiple classes on its manifestations. I think most people get hung up on trying to immediately understand the theoretical components of Sociology, which can be intimidating, but I have developed practical, modern-day applications" less...
