Award-Winning Writing Tutors
serving Tampa, FL

Getting ideas onto the page is one challenge; organizing them into something a reader wants to follow is another entirely. Genny approaches writing as a process — outlining an argument's skeleton, drafting with specific evidence, then revising for clarity and style. As someone who writes across both scientific and humanistic disciplines at Emory, she adapts her coaching to whatever genre or assignment a student is tackling.

I am a college student attending the University of South Florida but am originally from North Carolina. I love helping people in any way I can so never feel anxious or afraid to ask me questions! My favorite subjects are maths and sciences and I enjoy watching movies and TV shows, going to the gym, and attending school.

I am a National Merit awardee, and a recent USF Graduate with a Dual B.A. with Honors in Philosophy and History, both of which I enjoy thoroughly. My job is to make the material as easy to understand for you as it is for me. I have done this by mastering conversational Socratic ask-and-answer methodology to ensure my students attain the capacity to come to the right answers on their own. Additionally, I have invented multiple general tactics and even detailed strategies pertinent to specific question types, with the ability to translate the above to all learning styles including neurodivergent ones -particularly ADHD and anxiety which I myself have- to radically and adaptably simplify the exam for students as per their personal learning aptitudes.

I am passionate about helping students because even a little additional instruction in a way tailored to that specific student could help them find their own passion or even just get through a difficult subject. My teaching philosophy and teaching style are student-centered and focused on active learning that pushes students to go beyond simple understanding or memorizing. I don't expect students to love every subject we go over, I adapt to their interests just as I expect them to learn to adapt to their own graduation and personal expectations. I aim to foster an environment of mutual trust and respect in which the student can feel comfortable learning while also pushing themselves to go beyond their own initial expectations. I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School, one of the top public high schools in New York City, and then the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. I am currently preparing for the Medical School entrance exam. I have worked with students of all ages, interests and needs for many years. With each of the several dozens of students I have worked with, I have found a unique approach to help them, whether they needed light instruction for reinforcement of material or heavy instruction to catch up on months of information. The subjects I have taught include both the typical English, mathematics, science, and history courses and test preparation courses like high school entrance exams and the SAT. My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics, English, and the sciences. Mathematics is very straightforward and helps build logical reasoning, English allows a student to look within themselves to find the unique voice they can use in all of their future writing, and the sciences help build critical reasoning and research skills. I love teaching these subjects not only because they are necessary for graduation but also because they help them grow as people and future leaders.

I grew up in Canada and my first degree was from Mt. St. Vincent Women's University in Nova Scotia, Canada. I received a B.A. in political science with a double minor in Women's Studies and Psychology. From there, I moved to the United States, where I started teaching and earned my Master's degree in Education, Special Education from Cambridge College. I went on to complete an Ed.S. online with Old Dominion University in Virginia, with the hopes of doing my doctorate. I stopped my doctorate before completing my dissertation during COVID as the school I was attending closed its doors permanently, and I haven't found an alternative. I may go back someday and finish, but for now, I'm happy with things as they are. I love teaching reading the most, because I am such an avid reader and feel that it is a wonderful skill to have. I have worked in other subjects such as Writing and Social Studies, but I am most passionate about teaching reading and helping students to overcome their struggles with that subject. I have been teaching for all of my adult life and started when I was 17 years old as a tutor for older adults who struggled with literacy skills. This ignited my passion for teaching. My love of teaching has stayed with me for my entire life and though it has been tested over time, I have never thought of doing any other job. My philosophy includes believing that all people are deserving of an education that can help enrich their lives and advance their skills. My life involves enjoying music, writing, reading, animals and nature. Those are the things that have helped me cope with things beyond my control, as well as have provided much-needed alternatives during this new post-pandemic world. I did suffer mild disabilities in speech and Math as a student when I was a kid, so I am particularly sensitive to the needs of students with disabilities.
