"I am a Doctor of English and a Literature, Rhetoric, and Composition instructor at the University level since 2014. I am TEFL/TESOL certified as of December 2020. From 2015 through the present, I have privately tutored students from middle school to college and graduate programs in a variety of reading and writing-intensive subjects. I get great satisfaction from helping my clients create individualized learning goals and watching them grow and succeed.

I have a Doctorate in English (PhD), a Masters from the University of Iowa and a BA in English and History from William Jewel College and the University of Oxford (UK). In the Spring of 2020 I was given St. Louis University's Fournier Award for Outstanding Teaching and I also completed a Certificate in University Teaching Skills through the Reinert Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning. I am qualified for public secondary school teaching in the state of Missouri.

I can offer consistent tutoring to supplement children’s education during the school year and I also offer shorter-term project-specific assistance for students who are struggling with a long paper and need a little extra support. I particularly love working with high school seniors embarking on the exciting (yet challenging) task of college applications.

I have extensive experience working with neurodiverse students, including children and teens with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression, for whom the support of a non-family member adult can be especially beneficial. I am passionate about accompanying my students as they grow and find time management strategies that work well for them.

This is an opportunity to access private tutoring from a university instructor who is ready to help you or your child meet individualized learning goals!

My subjects include: English, Writing, Reading, Literature, Proofreading, Grammar, US History, European History, World History, Time Management, Public Speaking, and College Application Help" less...
