I am a state certified teacher and have tutored for many years. I work primarily online, and I enjoy working with students of all ages. I am proficient with MLA, APA, and Chicago writing styles. I love helping students succeed.

I graduated with honors from the University of Minnesota in 2008. After graduating, I lived abroad in Guatemala for over three years where I was a teacher and a columnist for a magazine. I have taught literature, English, Spanish, math, study skills (including designing a very successful study skills program), ACT test prep and leadership. Typically, students that I work with show immediate gains in their subject area. Students I work with will work hard--but we will also have a good time and laugh a lot as we work to meet your goals.When I'm not tutoring, you can usually find me exploring the Cities on my bike, playing sports or experimenting in the kitchen.

I could tell you all the things that make me a suitable candidate to assist in orchestrating your future through academics, but the most auspicious quality I possess is my attitude. I spent most of my time as a mentor, tutor and supplemental instructor at Midwestern State; I taught History and Spanish mainly, but also Grammar and Essay Writing. I have a love for sharing knowledge and teaching study patterns for different types of learners. I have been assisting my friends with study tips and the comprehension of difficult topics all my life. I also tutored here in Atlanta with students at Whitfield Academy, assisting with foreign language studies. I am full of life and full of knowledge. I communicate effectively and meet my students at their needs.

I believe that life is precious and far too short for many of us, so I choose to live by the motto, "Work hard, and play harder." While I don't believe that you have to work hard in order to enjoy life, I choose to work hard so that I can enjoy all this life has in store for me. I find most of my joy in this life come from helping others. I have tutored in the areas of English and Essay Writing for the past ten years. While pursuing my Master's degree in English from Auburn University Montgomery, I taught English Composition and worked as a tutor in the Student Learning Center. I worked with traditional and non-traditional students in subject areas such as Basic College Writing, Introduction to Composition and Introduction to American Literature. While pursuing my Ph.D. in English from The University of Georgia, I taught courses in English Composition and American Literature and worked as a Writing tutor in the University Writing Center. As a Writing tutor, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines, tutoring in such areas as grammar and mechanics, organization, thesis development, APA and MLA formatting. In this capacity I have worked with students in all grade levels, as well as professionals, in the areas of English and Essay Writing. As a tutor, I strive to maintain a student-centered tutoring environment, in which I focus on higher order concerns and help students develop a level of comfort in identifying and correcting errors in their writing.

In the winter of 2004, I had the pleasure of earning my first degree from Texas Southern University. I received a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology. From there I entered the classroom and began my teaching career. I began working with at risk students at an alternative school for behavioral concerns. I noticed that many of the students there were smart but had behavioral characteristics that hindered their learning process. I started as a teacher aide but enjoyed it so much that I decided to become certified. I chose to receive my certification in grades 4-8 in all content areas. My personal belief is that these are those most critical times of a students educational career. My desire to want to become a counselor blossomed in those first four years. I made the decision in 2008 to work towards a Masters' degree in School Counseling. I attended University of Houston-Clear Lake and obtained my degree in 2012. During the road to my degrees, I had the pleasure of teaching middle school students in all content areas. Now that I have been a school counselor for the past fours years I have come to miss the classroom environment. There is so much joy in watching students learn something new and the excitement they present. The primary subjects that I tutor are English & Language Arts and middle school level Math. Essay writing would probably be considered my favorite subject since I consider myself a writer as well. Many students struggle with the subject because they are not sure what to say. My advice to students is always to follow your knowledge of the topic and let your mind flow freely. When working with students I try to get to know them as an individual so that learning can be tailored to their needs. There are no two brains that think alike and therefore should be taught using different methods at times. One of the largest components that becomes a hurdle in student learning is study skills or lack thereof. Before I start working with a student I always investigate their studying style. Based on the method they utilize I do my best to tweak the needed changes to maximize student learning. Whenever my time is not devoted to educating I love to listen to music and write poetry. I try to be a student of all genres of music because I believe songs tell the story of a person. My favorite sports are basketball and boxing although I find myself drawn to anything that has a competitive nature.

After graduating from the College of William and Mary with a degree in East Asian Studies, I accepted a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship grant based in South Korea. I packed my bags with every intention of only spending one year in Korea, after which I would pick up and move to a new country in a new corner of Asia.That plan didnt last long.Instead, I fell in love with my job at Mokpo Jeongmyeong Girls Middle School. The students were a lovable, rascally bunch. We tumbled over tangled tongue twisters; tore through the halls on madcap scavenger hunts; tossed frisbees over lunch breaks and after classes; and whaled on each other with foam swords and battle axes. (We also practiced English.)Eventually, one year turned into three. I finished my two-year Fulbright grant and spent one last year teaching English, cooking, and yoga at Aran Kindergartento a new bunch of lovable rascalsin Seoul. I left Korea more self-reliant, more adaptable, and even more invested in lifelong education. I intend to put these skills to good use.

I am a professor with over fifteen years of teaching/tutoring experience in College Composition, Technical Communication, and Film/Media Studies. I love working with students one-on-one and accommodating individual learning styles! I am here to foster budding authors through the major phases of the writing process: planning, drafting, revising, editing, and submitting/publishing!

I have recently completed a Master's degree in Writing at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In addition to being on the Varsity Tutors team for almost 3 years, I worked as a tutor at the Writing Center at my school, where I was responsible for editing and proofreading the written work of a diverse range of students, as well as helping them to become more skilled and confident writers. Over the years at Varsity Tutors, I have enjoyed tailoring study plans and teaching styles for students looking to improve their verbal reasoning and writing skills in preparation for standardized tests and graduate school admissions. While I am qualified to tutor in a variety of subjects, I am particularly passionate about teaching English literature and language, verbal reasoning, and writing. As a tutor, I love the challenge of adapting to each student's unique needs, and learning what's best for different individuals. Generally, I like to keep tutoring sessions energetic and conversational. In addition to exploring the kinds of learning students are most receptive to, I am dedicated to connecting whatever we study to larger contexts and real-life issues.

I went to the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio where I earned my bachelor's in Comparative Literature. During my time at Wooster I studied abroad in Paris and Kenya, took many writing courses, child development courses, and completed a 90 page thesis on the study of literature as a tool in children's therapy. I am currently working at City Year New York and am tutoring 6th and 7th graders in English and math. I have a lot of experience tutoring and making learning fun for students of all ages! I love relating academics to the real world. Not only can math be exciting (who doesn't love fractions?!), but I know from personal experience that math is absolutely necessary if you want to learn how to budget your money so that you can live in your own apartment or travel across Europe for three months. My goal as a tutor is to not only teach my students the skills they need for a particular class or problem but also how to continue to use those skills on their own and apply them in new situations as well.

I am a recent graduate of Washington and Jefferson College. I received my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies and my Bachelor of Arts in History. Over my four years in college, I traveled to many different countries, including Scotland and Greece, studying abroad and gaining new experiences. Although I have studied many topics, my passion lies in sustainability and ancient history. I spend my time learning mythology, folklore, religion, and LGBTQ+ history. Throughout college, I acted as a tutor to my peers and mentees to help with history courses, such as World Environmental History, Soviet Culture, and Global Buddhism. I believe that education is a right, not a privilege, and I work tirelessly to ensure that all of my students are taken care of. In my free time, I love to roller skate, read, and go to the beach with my partner.
