I am kind of an academic geek, a literature geek for sure. I love the feeling of being in the classroom and taking part in the discourse that goes on. In fact, if someone were willing to pay me to go to school indefinitely, I would probably take them up on that.

I'm a freelance writer, recent Yale grad, former concert pianist and word lover. For the past three years I've worked as a writing specialist at the Yale College Writing Center, where I edited papers on topics from Turkish prison reform to Faulkner to hemoglobin studies. This past summer, I traveled to 14 countries as part of the singing group Whim 'n Rhythm. On that trip, I taught a cappella, singing and choral workshops with students of all ages. It was incredible and hugely affirming -- music...More

I am currently in my 5th year as a public school teacher. I have a Bachelors degree in Secondary Education, and a Masters degree in Curriculum & Instruction from the University of Kansas. I've taught all levels of high school English in my career, as well as working as an adjunct professor for a local community college, and as a Freshman Volleyball coach.

I am not bookish, stale, or boring. I have four children - all teenagers! So I am a little crazy; however, I have developed a large amount of patience.

I'm a proud graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Rhetoric, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I was awarded a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. Over my eight years of teaching, I have worked with students in writing essays, understanding material assigned to them and material that they use in writing argument and research papers. As a tutor, I can help you with beginning your essays, developing the...More

I am currently a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling master's program at Nova Southeastern University, and I received my B.A. in English with a minor in Spanish from the University of Miami in 2016. I am a native speaker of English and Russian. Throughout the course of my education, I have helped my fellow students improve their analytical and writing skills through collaboration. I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, including standardized test preparation, English...More

I'm a retired teacher, but since I love teaching English and history, I'm staying engaged with students through one-on-one tutoring. I got my high school diploma from Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, MA; my BA in Fine Arts from New College of Florida (the honors college of Florida's state universities) in Sarasota, Fl; and two masters in the Humanities from Saint John's College in Santa Fe, NM. Both colleges emphasized self-directed learning, collaboration, Socratic seminars, great books, intensi...More

I'm Meredith. I am a student at Sewanee: The University of the South, where I am pursuing degrees in English and International Studies. I also am pursuing a certificate in Creative Writing. I love to read, write, and engage in anything that allows me to be creative. I have a passion for education as a student and as a teacher. I cannot wait to meet new students and provide help in any way I can!

I'm Kacie, previously an English major with a concentration in Literature at Cornell College. I graduated in 2012 and have mostly tutored in lower level reading but recently have begun teaching ESL classes as well. My passions include science fiction/fantasy, Virginia Woolf, British literature, and creative writing.

I am as a person, and I would hope to get to know the student as a person as well. From the beginning, we are two individuals who lead fascinating lives, and I think it is important for us each to get comfortable with each other before we can explore the content. After a relationship is established, I would like to learn about the goals of the student with the sessions that we have to follow. It is important to me that we have an end goal in sight, and that everything we are doing is with the st...More
