"I graduated in 2010 with a 3.8 GPA from The College of Wooster, where I earned a BA in English Language and Literature.

Since graduating, I have applied my verbal skills to helping high school students improve their own command of the written word. I have worked for two years as an English tutor and Writing instructor for Upward Bound, a federally-funded educational enrichment program designed to help students in low-performing high schools ...

"I have a lot of experience teaching seniors in High School, but I can help any students from 6th grade and earlier all the way up to 12th grade. If your student needs any help in Language Arts, request me, you won't be disappointed. I've been reading ever since I started reading those little pamphlet books like "See Dick Run." I'm consistently in the middle of two or three books. I'm very interested in movies and tv shows as a medium for excellent writing.."

As an undergraduate, I tutored young girls and middle school students in reading, math, and other subjects as needed.

"I was a voracious reader by age nine. As an adult, I am a grammar fiend and a talented writer. Teaching people to read and write is one of my favorite activities. I have taught or tutored in many different arenas, from high school teaching and tutoring to legal intern and lawyer training, and from summer camps and after-school programs to caring for my elementary-and-toddler-aged nieces and nephew. Currently, I teach high school math, science, English, social studies, and theater arts when those classroom teachers aren't available." ...

I'm also certified fluent in both French and Spanish and spent last semester in Paris, France. I'm a fun, engaging teacher with a dynamic personal energy, and one of my greatest strengths is generating enthusiasm in even the most reluctant students.
