About Me

I earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Georgia State University College of Law, and a Bachelor of Arts in English Composition and Rhetoric from from the University of Georgia with a certificate in Interdisciplinary Writing. I concentrated my English coursework in composition and rhetoric in many disciplines including everything from Chaucer to Graphic Novel Theory. I can offer assistance in basic to advanced Reading Comprehension, Grammar skills, essay and research development skills and advanced writing and editing techniques. All of these skills are applicable to Reading and Writing SAT test prep, as well as AP English test prep. I can also offer assistance with general study skills, time management, and problem solving skills. I'm a practiced hand at learning to study, and I was never a naturally successful academic - I had to work at it and teach myself, and figure out ways to be successful, and I can help you do the same! My teaching strategy as a tutor in any subject makes my students love me because I will go the extra mile for each and every student who truly wants to learn. I challenge my students to think complexly in ways they generally have not been challenged to think before, and I refuse to give answers. I truly believe every student can rise to any challenge given proper guidance, and I feel they can see I truly believe in their abilities. My job as a tutor is to guide my students in their development and show them strategies to become better readers, writers, and thinkers independently, not to show them where commas go. I am not a boring English teacher who expects students to love everything I put in front of them. I have a very broad base of experience and, believe me, not all of it I found interesting. I love Graphic Novels and Comics, British Literature, and Poets like Wallace Stevens and Eliot. I love to get to know my students and I want to help them find their interests so they can learn to love and understand reading and writing! In my free time I like to rock climb, watch movies, read, lift weights and hang out with my friends.
