Sydney: Sugar Land tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Angelo State University, where I double-majored in English and Psychology for my Bachelor's degree and went on to complete a Master's degree in English. I began tutoring in 2018 and quickly discovered a love for helping students build confidence in their writing skills. Since then, I have tutored students individually and in the classroom setting as an embedded tutor, and I have taught college English composition as well. I believe the ability to communicate ideas clearly and concisely in writing is a necessary skill, and I focus on each student's individual needs to help them attain that skill. Out of all the types of academic writing, my favorite thing to help students understand is how to write an effective argument and understand the rhetorical appeals. It is my opinion that every student is capable of being an excellent writer if given the appropriate resources and help. In addition to writing, I am also passionate about the study of literature, specifically British literature.

Hobbies

When I'm not tutoring or teaching, I am often reading one of the many books I've yet to get to on my bookshelf or rereading an old favorite. I love true-crime docuseries, trivia, and attempting to crochet (even though I'm not very good at it).
