Personal Description:

I thought it was "so cool" that high school students came to my elementary school to tutor younger students and I jumped at the chance to follow suit when I got older. I discovered that I have a passion for teaching in doing so and now define my process in three words: Patience, Persistence, and Practice. I also try to give my students agency wherever possible. For instance, I might ask the student to write sample sentences to help us review the parts of speech.

Tutoring Experience:

I grew up helping my younger brother with his homework, so you could say that I've been an English tutor for years.

Tutoring Approach:

Studying in a purely abstract sense can be needlessly difficult, so I use examples to help illustrate every point I'm making. For example, I might come up with a few subheadings to show aspiring writers how to grab a reader's attention. I also try to teach broader study skills in the context of more specific concepts.
