Martyn: Waltham tutor

Certified Tutor

A superior education brings together critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity to better enrich our own lives and those around us. This is why I chose to go into the field of English teaching as the subject brings together those aspects of learning to fulfillment. In my time working with students, I have always seen the experience as rewarding and enriching through my years of working as a high school tutor, completing a year of student teaching, and finishing my college program at the University of Utah. After earning my Bachelors of English Teaching, I went to graduate school to obtain my Masters of Education, along with teaching license.

I have been tutoring in secondary English Language Arts (ELA) for the last two years as well as taught secondary ELA in my student teaching. I covered subjects from the basics of grammar and writing mechanics to critical theory and Shakespeare. I love finding the interesting aspects of English and how they relate our world as a whole and connect across time to bring a deeper understanding of importance. With tutoring, I enjoy a conversational approach along the lines of the assignment to bring to light new ideas and understanding for students and myself. I look forward to working together!
