I have been tutoring, mostly English, formally and informally since I was in high school. Nine years later I still derive satisfaction from helping students work through problems and become strong, self-sufficient learners. Creative writing as well as academic writing are passions I still hold despite a career focused on health sciences. I especially enjoy working with international students and students with learning disabilities. I have worked with various age groups, from grade school levels k-12, university-aged students and adult learners and found each age group rewarding and fun to work with. Below is a list of my various tutoring experiences but I am also glad to give out a full resume, CV, and references! Also, I am willing to compromise on my desired wage if needed by a student.
