About Brendan


Bio

I have worked as a writer and editor for digital and print journalism for the last four years, and won several awards for my work. As an editor, I have reviewed everything from student essays to court coverage documents, giving me a wide breadth of topics and experiences to base my feedback on. I also currently serve as a freelance text editor and writer for video games, allowing my skills to help in creative writing and fiction as well. I believe all of these experiences, when put together,...

I have worked as a writer and editor for digital and print journalism for the last four years, and won several awards for my work. As an editor, I have reviewed everything from student essays to court coverage documents, giving me a wide breadth of topics and experiences to base my feedback on. I also currently serve as a freelance text editor and writer for video games, allowing my skills to help in creative writing and fiction as well. I believe all of these experiences, when put together, allow me to help students with many subjects, using my own experience as a baseline to work off of.

In terms of degrees, I hold not only a Bachelor's in Communications, but also a Master's Degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri. This shows a strong grasp of English, and my willingness to work hard to meet any goal, including being a good tutor and ensuring my students learn.

I have also recently begun my journey as a teacher and tutor. In June, I graduated from Cambridge's CELTA course, which involved teaching adults age 20-40 intermediate English. I also recently participated in an overseas teaching practicum plan, where I taught students from ages 5-15 beginner English in their classrooms. These experiences have given me an understanding of how different ages and students learn- something invaluable to tutors and teachers alike.
