This allows the student and instructor to discover the student's misconceptions and for the student to correct them.

...their creative writing work. After moving to Los Angeles, I picked up hours taking care of a kid for a great family. A huge part of my responsibilities included after school tutoring.

I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to...
