Mattie: Northlake tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations and Journalism from Union University. With over 2 years of experience in tutoring, I specialize in AP Style, English language and composition, various literature courses, creative writing, and journalism writing. My approach centers on fostering critical thinking by collaborating with students as capable adults and engaging them through thoughtful questions that guide their learning.

I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel respected and motivated to express their ideas clearly and accurately. My experience as a writing center tutor has equipped me to help students of various ages refine their writing processes, from brainstorming to proofreading. I find joy in helping students discover their voice and develop a love for writing, whether through literary analysis or creative projects. Additionally, my work as a production editor for Lifeway's VBS team allows me to bring real-world editing experience into our sessions, enhancing the learning experience.

Hobbies

I enjoy reading, writing, and getting any opportunity to be creative. Many times I will bounce from hobby to hobby, teaching myself crafts of all kinds. A perfect day would include a little bit of baking, a smidge of needlework, a short walk outside, and a movie night with friends or family. I am extremely passionate about publishing and the process of creating and distributing quality content. Writing will always be my first love although editing is what I now find most of my hours dedicated to.
