About Me

Having received my BA in English from Creighton University in Omaha and my master's in Creative Writing from Kingston University in London, England, I am back home in Omaha looking to expand my experience in tutoring. I did private, in-home tutoring as well as facilitating groups and classrooms. My primary subjects are English, ESL, Writing and Reading but I also work well with primary students in math. I have previous university coursework in Ancient Studies, so I am also very happy to assist with social studies and basic Latin. I am focused on the importance of education at every level and dedicated, specifically, to helping and motivating others to improve and perfect their fluency and mastery of the English language. Each student has their own goals with tutoring and it is my objective to determine my students' learning styles and to adjust my teaching methods accordingly in order to create the best environment for supplemental instruction. Learning is important and it should be fun, especially for children. Therefore, I incorporate puzzles and games into our sessions. I chose to study in the UK because I enjoy traveling and I love the rich history in Europe and particularly in England. I like to read and explore museums, and I really like to write. I have written several short stories and am in the process of revising a novella that I wrote for my master's dissertation. I have recently joined a writer's group and am looking forward to, one day, having some of my work published.

Hobbies & Interests

I enjoy travelling and have been to much of the US and some of Europe. Looking forward to expanding my adventures soon! I also enjoy reading and writing, yoga and swimming.
