Strong English skills come down to two things: reading carefully and writing clearly.

I am a rising sophomore at Emory University working towards a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology, as well as a minor in global health, culture, and society. I tutored in multiple subject areas in high school as a peer tutor as well as a tutor to younger students in elementary and middle school. I also tutored elementary school students in multiple subject areas during my first year at Emory. I tutor in many subjects, but have always been passionate specifically about tutoring in math. I have been tutored by peers many times throughout high school and college in different subjects, including the ACT. I found unique ways to solve problems and expand my problem solving skills through this, especially because I felt as though my peers were better able to relate to me, and therefore cater to my needs as a student. My approach is catered specifically to each student by first learning how he or she best learns, and then using tactics that will benefit them the most as they learn and grow as a student.

Reading a novel and reading a comic share more DNA than most people think — both demand close attention to tone, structure, and the choices a creator makes to convey meaning.

As a bilingual professional writer at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Carlos crafts clear, purposeful prose every day — a skill he brings directly to teaching thesis development, paragraph organization, and revision strategies.

Rated 4.9 by students.

Reading a poem or short story closely enough to write about it requires a different skill set than just finishing the assigned pages.

Reading a novel and actually understanding what an author is doing with structure, tone, and figurative language are two very different skills.

His 5.0 rating comes from making those skills concrete rather than abstract.
