Hello! I graduated summa cum laude in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Educational Studies. While I originally planned to become a classroom teacher, I quickly discovered that I am most effective working one-on-one with students, where I can tailor each lesson to their individual learning style and pace.

I have over a year of experience as an online tutor, working with students ranging from early elementary through adult learners. I specialize in essay writing and English Language Arts, helping students at every stage of the writing process—from brainstorming and outlining to research, drafting, and final revisions. I also support students in building strong reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar skills.

For younger students, I provide foundational support in both ELA and math, using different approaches to help concepts “click” in a way that makes sense to them. I believe that when students are given the right explanation in the right way, they gain both understanding and confidence. In addition, I assist older students who are less familiar with technology by teaching them how to use Microsoft Word to format documents or complete specific assignments.

My goal in every session is to create a supportive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making progress. Whether you need help developing a full essay or working through a single mathematics equation, I am here to guide you step-by-step toward success.

Having grown up in a large family, I have always assisted my younger siblings with their math homework. Professionally, I have a year of experience tutoring students in elementary mathematics.
General Music

General Music

I have been playing piano for over 12 years, and have taken weekly lessons for about 3 years of that time. For the past 2 years, I have been my church's main pianist and have performed several cantatas. In addition, I play violin every Spring in my local orchestra. My family has always been very involved in music. As a result, I know a little bit about many different instruments and I know a decent amount of music theory as well.
Grammar

Grammar

I have been editing high school and college essays for over a year and a half. During that time, I have focused my review on grammar. I am familiar with the usage of various types of sentences, clauses, punctuations, and more. I have also assisted younger students with learning basic grammar concepts.
Literature

Literature

I have always been an avid reader. While I read some current fiction, I have read many classic books. I have read the works of Jules Verne, Jane Austen, Mark Twain, and Edgar Allen Poe, to name a few.
Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word

All the way from elementary school through my college journey, I wrote all my essays using Microsoft Word. In addition, I took a Microcomputer Applications class while studying for my bachelor's degree. Over the past year, I have helped many adult learners become more familiar with the fundamentals of Microsoft Word.

In 2024, I passed the Alabama Foundations of Reading test with a score of 285 out of a possible 300.

Reading

Currently, I tutor elementary age students in reading comprehension. Specifically, I help guide them to be able to answer questions about texts and make inferences. In addition, I have been an avid reader all my life. It is a hobby that brings me great joy, and I want to share my love of literature with others.
Writing

Writing

In college, I took both English Composition 101 and 102. For the past year, I have been tutoring students of all ages in writing essays. During my sessions, I assist students with creating/revising their thesis, being sure they have a logical structure, checking for compliance with formatting guidelines, and proofreading for grammar/mechanical errors. Furthermore, I have experience revising both MLA and APA essays.
