I am a tutor who is careful to listen and to try to find out how each student will learn best. I can tutor students from elementary school up past college. I have worked as a professional tutor in a university setting for the last two years, and non-professionally for the last three. I tutored upper level English, upper level Philosophy, Gen Eds, Graphic Design, and a nationally recognized Civ program which combined History and English. I was also a writing assistant, proofing papers, providing advice on research, argument, study habits, paper structure, composition and grammar. I would love to help any student, whether helping them polishing up their work or giving them hope and courage to learn the first thing.

I love tutoring because I love helping people. I think everyone is capable of amazing things, and I want to see people succeed and be confident about themselves. In the past I have worked at a Summer Camp for people with special needs, and I learned two things there: one, if you listen to people and encourage them, they can go a long way, and two, if you determine yourself to accept people no matter what, they can do things nobody believed they could. These are two things I try to live by, and to tutor by.

Aside from majoring in English in college, reading a lot, and scoring high in English & Reading on the ACT, my qualifications to tutor English also come from the way I have been taught to think. In particular, I am qualified to help you for two reasons:

First, the same thing which makes someone good at talking and listening to people is often the same thing which makes someone good at writing papers. This does take work, but knowing it helps immensely with English in general and paper-writing in particular, and this is a big part of how I tutor.

Second, my experience with philosophy gives a good back-bone to my thinking and helps me to help students learn to have an intellectual back-bone in their own thinking and writing.
