"Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read this profile. Teaching English writing and revision strategies is immensely satisfying work for me which is great because I've been doing it for four years going on five. Effective communication is crucial to my style in tutorials--I constantly check to make sure clients are understanding my suggestions, explanations, and the work itself. I can guarantee that through working with me, you will improve your understanding of reading and writing regardless of the style or subject matter. I'm a very patient teacher and am happy to work on any part of the writing process with clients, be it brainstorming and outlining, researching and writing, or revising and grammar revision.

I began writing tutoring during my undergraduate studies in English and Psych by working with many ESL students and those with low competency in English writing. After that, I became an assistant director of a university writing center where tutored as well has hired, trained, and supervised other writing tutors. During that time I earned my master's in writing as well, co-taught a tutor training course, and led grammar workshops. I've presented at several national conferences on contemporary methods and research in the field of writing tutoring.

In my current role, I train and coordinate over 80 tutors at a time. Through evaluating my tutors, I've been able to deepen my understanding of great tutoring methodology, and now have skills on how to match tutoring style to the client's needs.

There isn't a way for me to emphasize how much I love seeing clients develop a sense of confidence in their writing skills. It is my goal to leave students with lessons that will stick with them even when I'm not in the room. Please contact me and share some information about your writing needs, and I will develop schedules and lessons to help you specifically with whatever support you're looking for." less...
