I'm Meg! I graduated from New York University and University of Colorado Boulder, and am currently enrolled at Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena. I have been a dance and liberal arts educator in the college setting since 2018. Though my background is in the arts, my significant experience in academia as both a teacher and student have helped me to hone advanced writing skills that I have been able to impart to my students. I excel at assisting students to brainstorm and clarify their theses, to use direct rather than indirect language, and to reorder their syntax in ways that are legible and easy to follow for the reader.
I served as a grader at University of Southern California. There, I assessed student essays prior to, and after submission, while offering feedback on paper outlines and final submissions. I held meetings with students who needed support to clarify their intent and enjoyed helping them to dig deeper in their thought processes to discover fully baked research topics. My students' ages have ranged from 17-25, though I am confident I can similarly support high school students with their writing.
My teaching experience has been in person, one on one, and virtual. I am well-versed in online education, having been a teacher during the COVID pandemic, and can readily translate valuable lessons into supportive virtual tutoring sessions. I am well-positioned to support students in learning basic writing skills, as well as editing and providing feedback for essays.
