"As a Literary Arts major and aspiring English teacher, I have built a strong foundation in reading, writing, and communication through both academic study and hands-on classroom experience. I have worked in junior high and high school settings as a paraprofessional and teaching assistant, supporting students with diverse academic needs. In these roles, I reinforced lessons, provided individualized support, and helped students develop skills in reading comprehension, literary analysis, and structured writing. My experience working directly with teachers and students has given me a clear understanding of curriculum expectations, classroom dynamics, and the tools students need to feel confident and capable.

My tutoring approach is student-centered, supportive, and adaptable. I believe that learning English should be engaging and meaningful, so I combine structured instruction with creative techniques that help students connect personally with what they’re reading or writing. A typical session includes a short warm-up, targeted skill practice, and time to apply concepts to the student’s own assignments or writing. I have worked with middle school and high school students both one-on-one and in small groups, helping them strengthen essays, prepare for exams, improve reading fluency, and build critical thinking skills.

What sets me apart is my ability to make students feel comfortable, motivated, and genuinely invested in their own growth. I bring patience, enthusiasm, and strong communication skills to every session, and I tailor lessons to each student’s learning style and goals. My goal is always the same: to help students build confidence, develop their voice, and discover the power of language. As I continue my path toward becoming a high school English teacher, I’m committed to offering thoughtful, individualized support to every student I work with." less...
