...The Jibsheet. In 2012, I began working as a freelance copywriter and copy editor, and was commissioned as a freelance editor by beloved author, Jerramy Fine. And in 2015, I joined Elevated Concepts as their Director of Content.

Every student is different, and so I firmly believe that studying and learning habits should be tailored...

...for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations.

They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning.
