I studied English Literature and Theatre at Temple University. I have years of experience as a writing tutor at Temple University, where I worked with graduate and undergraduate students in all majors. I enjoy tutoring because, since I did well in school and am confident in my own writing/reading/grammar abilities, I find enjoyment in passing along any skills I have acquired to someone who is struggling or who simply wants to learn more.

I believe that the most effective way to improve is to work collaboratively with the student. I am there to guide the student in their work, while directing them in discovering the ideas or correct answers themselves. Being a creative person really influences my style as a tutor, as I can adapt to any challenge easily and also can incorporate one or multiple strategies as is needed in the session.

My goal as a tutor is to help the student become an independent learner. The best way to become a better student is to learn how to think on your own and to creatively search for solutions. This goes beyond merely correcting assignments and feeding the students the "correct" answers.

Please contact me if you need help in any of the subject areas that I specialize in!
