Certified Tutor

I am a recent graduate of Colgate University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English literature with minors in philosophy and writing/rhetoric. As an undergraduate, I worked at my college's Writing and Speaking Center as a peer consultant and took education classes for which I observed K-12 classrooms. Since graduation, I have earned a TEFL certification which I used at the beginning of this year to teach English in Germany. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about reading, writing, and ESL. In my experience helping college students with writing for any discipline (whether it was a creative short story, lab report, or history thesis), I have received positive feedback and managed to help clients enjoy the writing process while making noticeable improvements in their work. I strongly believe that approaching education with an organized yet caring and positive mindset is essential in helping students make tangible improvements, and is something I prioritize as a tutor.
