"My name is Ruqaiyah, and I am so excited to help you strengthen your reading and writing skills! I studied History at Yale University, took a year off to work at a nonprofit in Seattle, and I am now pursuing a Master's degree at Georgetown University in DC. I'm passionate about helping people learn how to articulate themselves better, whether through speaking or writing. I strongly believe that everyone - regardless of background or education or learning style - can learn strong English language skills, and I'm committed to personalizing my lessons to meet your specific needs!

I have over three years of experience teaching elementary school students writing and public speaking, as well as four years of experience teaching online English lessons to adults and college students. During this time, I also worked as an editor for several magazines, collaborating one-on-one with writers to refine their work. I love helping students develop confidence in their writing, whether they’re working on essays, creative pieces, or professional documents. My goal is to make writing accessible and enjoyable, so that every student feels empowered to express themselves clearly and effectively." less...
