About Me

I am a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. I earned my Bachelors degree in Letters with a focus on the Classics, and am in the midst of applying for graduate programs in the field of Comparative Mythology. While attending university, I was continually leading study groups and providing writing and editing help for my peers. My education before college was rather unorthodox, in that I was homeschooled by my mother, who brought in students who needed more individual attention than was being provided for them in public or even private school. Having been educated in such an atmosphere through grade 12 has blessed me both with the experience of having watched quality tutoring occur every day and of tutoring others from a very young age. I have always found immense joy in tutoring. Helping others learn is a wildly rewarding pursuit. I believe that tutoring is essential because every individual learns differently - every brain moves in intricate and astounding ways - and trying to educate every student in the same manner can end in frustration and disappointment. My favorite subjects to tutor are Writing, Essay Editing, Reading Comprehension, and English, because I find these are the subjects which are easiest for me to connect with emotionally, and thereby elicit a response from a student and get them more interested and involved. I am currently approved to tutor Writing, English, Essay Editing, Phonics, English Grammar and Syntax, Elementary School Reading, Elementary School Writing, Elementary School Math, Spelling Bee, Middle School Math, Middle School Reading, Middle School Writing, Middle School Reading Comprehension, Pre-Algebra, High School English, High School Writing, ACT Writing, Test Prep, College Application Essays, College English, ACCUPLACER - Listening, ACCUPLACER - Reading Skills, ACCUPLACER - Language Use. My interests outside of academia are reading, hiking, yoga, cooking, music, and dogs. :)
