Hello! Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Iris, and I have a lot of experience with students of all ages. Mainly a college-level instructor, I also tutor middle school students, and adults! I attended a Writing PhD program at Virginia Tech (2018-2021), hold an MA in English from Virginia Tech (pending degree award 2022), as well as an MA in Rhetoric and Writing Studies from San Diego State University (2016), and a BA in English and American Literature from The American College of Greece (2014). I have been teaching since 2010 as a private tutor, and have an 8-year experience teaching college writing.
I can help you with:
--Any type of essay, report or letter.
--College essays, personal essays.
--Resumes and Websites.
--Public speaking.
--Preparing presentations and practicing.
--Analyzing any kind of text (written, audiovisual, etc.).
--Preparing for TOEFL and GRE.
--Develop your study and revision skills.
--Grammar and vocabulary.
--Build confidence in your own writing and speaking.
--Master critical thinking.
--Completing applications.
--Preparing for an interview.
My objective is to help students develop their writing skills and their critical thinking skills! It is important we learn from our mistakes, and I usually teach students this through helping them with revisions. I prompt students to use their personal experiences as an anchor for their writing. In addition to developing writing skills, while tutoring I will help you work on your communication skills, and your public speaking skills--an important component of life. But most of all, my teaching pedagogy is informed by my will to see students thrive as a result of having faith in themselves and their abilities.
I will be more than happy to answer any questions and I am very flexible in my schedule. You may also find more details about my experience under the individual subjects I tutor. I try to answer messages as soon as I can, and definitely within the same day!
