What prompted you to seek tutoring?

I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Darlene

Certified Tutor

I have a MA in Writing, concentration in composition and theory, as well as writing in new media. I have a tendency to think outside the box when presented with ideas -- sometimes without realizing my audience wasn't prepared for outside-the-box essays.

I can help you craft an essay, no matter the subject material, or, I can help you wade through compositional matter.

I also love diagramming sentences, which seems to be a lost art form... sadly. That's all I can think of for now, but here are a few questions the platform prompted me to answer:

What are your favorite subjects to tutor?
English composition/theory, grammar. I was always such a nerd in those classes, eager to learn everything I could, so I'll definitely be happy to share the education!

How many hours per week are you looking to stay busy with students?
5hr/week. I'm not looking to be stressed! I want to be able to have time between sessions to do my homework, too!
Do you have any upcoming vacations planned?

Do you prefer online or in person tutoring?
I haven't done online tutoring, so, so far, I enjoy in-person tutoring.
