About Me

While earning my bachelor's and master's degrees in English literature, I have had the opportunity to give students a number of tools to develop their literary craft, and I have helped students increase their reading comprehension by introducing them to a multitude of written works. I enjoy tutoring high school and college students, especially after teaching freshman English and working in the writing center as a graduate assistant at Middle Tennessee State University. My particular areas of expertise are assisting students with writing projects at any stage of the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, researching, writing rough drafts, and editing. I also enjoy working with ESL students as they develop their conversational skills, reading comprehension, and writing. Furthermore, I assist with test preparation for both the GRE and the GMAT. Personally, I love all genres of literature, and I maintain a broad range of interests in composition, rhetoric, critical theory, the Renaissance, Romanticism, and Modernism.

Q&A with Katherine

I think all aspects of the English language--reading, writing, and speaking--should be taught from the rhetorical standpoint. What I mean by this is that students should study various methodologies of the English language, ranging from the compositional structure of a text to subtle aspects of the speaker's tone and intended audience, which oftentimes persuade or move an audience subconsciously. In this way, students increase their reading, writing, and speaking skills from a technical standpoint because they gain the necessary tools to demystify the English language.
