I am looking for an opportunity to help people with difficulties they may be experiencing with the most widely-used language all over the world.

With my degree in English, focusing on writing and editing, I find joy in correcting written materials. I am very detail-oriented, so when it comes to checking papers, I love to scribble as many notes as I can get in there as possible, to help the reader when it comes to revising their piece. I used to love it when my professors would write a lot of tips and suggestions as feedback on my classwork or homework assignments. Peer-reviewing essay-sessions during class were one of the best opportunities to explore the strengths and weaknesses of others and our own.

When I was a student at NOVA, I volunteered to help college students prepare for final examinations. This opportunity was only given to a selected few from our class, and only lasted one semester. I met with these students no more than two or three times, but the experience was challenging, especially because the students were my peers.

As a temporary freelancer, I get the opportunity to write and re-write drafts that I report on. I have had several articles published in a local newspaper.

As a college student assistant in the summer, I had the opportunity of reading and correcting classmates quizzes and essay assignments. It was a great experience, because I got the chance to notes, suggestions, and tips to these students on their assignments.

Finally, as a leader in an after-school program for one year, I gained rapport with elementary school children. One of my duties were helping them complete their home assignments during homework time.

I hope my skills and abilities meet the requirements of my future clients. I would be more than delighted to benefit others with my expertise. Looking forward to hearing from you.

• ESL/ESOL

  As an undergraduate English major, I have acquired the ability to thoroughly check and correct written work in the English language. My expertise lies in sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary to some extent. I enjoy writing extensive feedback so that the student clearly understands where his/her strengths and weaknesses lie. Although I am not a certified ESL teacher, I do believe that my skills as an English major will make a difference in your learning process. As a Kumon tutor for Reading, I help elementary and middle-school children understand comprehension, write out clear and well-defined sentences free of grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. I would be comfortable teaching upto the Intermediate level; however, I do have a strong grasp of the Advanced level as well. I will be looking forward to hearing from students who need help learning the most widely spoken language all over the world!
