I received my English Teaching degree from Brigham Young University. I taught high school English classes for two years before starting a family and beginning work as a part-time tutor. I have tutored for several years in a variety of subjects, but my favorite subjects to tutor are writing and grammar. For the last three years I have tutored almost exclusively in college-level essay writing. I believe every student has the capacity to be a great writer. In each tutoring session, I teach concepts and principles of writing that students can apply immediately and for future writing assignments also. I also enjoy helping students prepare for college admission tests. I am a firm believer in education and the value of a college degree in shaping a person's future. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baking, hiking, and tennis.
