As a dedicated English Literature and Composition tutor with a PhD from the University of North Dakota, I am passionate about nurturing students' academic writing and critical thinking skills. With over 5 years of tutoring experience, I create a supportive and respectful learning environment where students feel valued and motivated to engage deeply with the writing process. My teaching philosophy centers on the Socratic method, encouraging students to articulate their thoughts and develop their ideas through structured feedback. I specialize in academic writing and persuasive rhetoric, guiding students through the essential building blocks of effective communication, from crafting topic sentences to developing cohesive essays. My global perspective, shaped by diverse teaching experiences, allows me to connect with students from various backgrounds while fostering cultural competency in their writing. I am excited to empower students to express their ideas with clarity and confidence, preparing them for success in their academic and professional pursuits.
