So that you can have a better idea of who I am, I will tell you a few non-academic things about myself.

While attending William and Mary, I continued my passionate pursuit of foreign language studies, particularly French Literature and Spanish immersion over the summers away from school.

...as corresponding standardized test areas (GRE verbal and written, SAT and ACT verbal, AP language and literature). I also specialize in editorial and proof work, including admission essays and writing samples. My goal is to tailor each tutoring session to the student's needs and ambitions, and to use our time together to sharpen transferable skills, which will enable said student to tackle as wide a spectrum of academic and rhetorical situations as possible.

I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response.
