I am certified in English Language Arts 6-12 as well Library Media K-12. Since entering Kindergarten, I have loved school! Even into adulthood, I seek out educational opportunities, always desiring to learn something new. Pinpointed, literature is a passion of mine. Travel is not always an option, but through literature, readers are able to find themselves in different places, cultures, and time periods . . . to get swept away in a world of new experiences, thoughts, and ideas. Reading is a gift! Equally as important, writing is a vital skill in our 21st century digital age. Our society needs clear, thoughtful, and factual messaging as well as pieces of personal expression. I have experience teaching in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms, and I look forward to helping students grow in their understanding and love of English Language Arts.

7+ Years Tutoring

As a writer who became established with years of practice, schooling, and personal growth, I know the pain that comes with writing. Having learned a great deal from some of the greatest writing professors, I know how to connect with other writers, relate to a topic at hand, and mold a piece into the best it can be.I have collaborated with fellow writers in peer reviews so much that I know and care about the work of others. I take joy in learning from the criticism of those at the same learning level as I am. The critique of a teacher versus that of a fellow student can often feel different. Having recently graduated from college, I can teach as though I am your classmate.Finding the smallest piece of relevancy in a topic makes it all the more easy to write and care about what you're writing. I know the struggle of writing in topics I have no interest in, and I know how it feels to really care. Your best writing shows when you take the time to reflect and build upon your ideas.I am a writer who looks forward to growing from my students, hoping that they learn too, from myself and about themselves!

Andrew
Undergraduate Degree James Madison University
10+ Years Tutoring

I am a two-time graduate of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, receiving a bachelor's degree in English in 2008 and a master's degree in secondary education in 2009. Since graduation, I have worked teaching high school English and coaching wrestling in a relatively poor and rural district just south of Richmond. Though I am fully qualified and capable of tutoring any subject related to English, one of the things I have enjoyed the most success with as a teacher is preparation for standardized tests. I also very much enjoy teaching British literature and the writing process. There is no better feeling to me than seeing the gratitude in a student's face when he or she exceeds expectations and can go on to complete the next step in his or her educational journey. Outside of teaching, I am a rabid baseball fan (Let's go, Mets!), I love going to concerts, and I enjoy hanging out with my cats.

Additionally, I am a diligent, organized, and passionate educator who understands that students learn through hands-on, engaging experiences.
