Certified Tutor

Hello!

I am an alumni of Winthrop University, and I hold an MA in English. I am also a member of the International English Honors Society (Sigma Tau Delta)!

I absolutely love all things English and Writing, and I am actually a writer myself. My strengths are exemplified in brainstorming, editing poetry and prose, helping study habits, reading comprehension, and help with essays from elementary school all the way to college.

I worked with children for nearly seven years at an after-school/summer camp (which I was coordinator of) facility, and encouraged literacy by taking them to the library next to our building twice a week. Their ages ranged from 6-15, and I successfully taught them about theatre, helped them with English homework, and counseled them through hard times. I have had experience working as a lead K4 and K5 teacher, as well.

During my BA and MA studies, I've worked with multiple peers on papers and proofreading.

I am beyond passionate about teaching and tutoring. There have been too many teachers and tutors in my life that didn't care about their students (I call them 9-5s), and I want to be that one teacher that someone looks back on and thinks: "Wow. She really helped me." Aside from writing, I find this be my ultimate goal. If I can say I helped a one or two students, then I'm doing something right.

Don't be afraid to contact me if you have any questions!

Hobbies

I love music, movies, reading (mostly YA fantasy and anything creepy - so, you know, elves, faeries, magical worlds, and things that go BUMP in the night) and writing. I travel often to meet bestselling novelists and have a huge collection of personalized books, and at each meeting I learn something new for myself AND for tutoring writing and reading. I also adore D&D with friends! Not only does it improve my creativity, but it helps to reduce stress. I love Marvel, DC villains, the new She-Ra Netflix reboot, and any movie that requires my analytical English major to come out and play. I’m a huge geek and a kid at heart, so chances are tutoring with me will be fun.
