I have a PhD from the University of Michigan in Linguistics. My teaching experience includes several years teaching courses in linguistics, including general linguistics, phonetics, and phonology. I also have several years of experience teaching introductory college composition.

As an instructor and tutor, I love to help students do well and feel confident in their classes.

My background gives me the ability to help you with a wide range of linguistics topics. My primary strengths are phonetics and phonology, since is the focus of my research, but I have also taught most common linguistics topics (such as syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistics) at the introductory level.

I can also help you with your writing. Since I am both a linguist and writing instructor, I am especially good at giving practical, evidence-based advice on grammar, style, and genre conventions.

Until I am vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, I prefer online lessons rather than in-person lessons. I have a flexible schedule. Contact me for scheduling information.

My first concern is that you hire the right tutor, rather than that you necessarily hire me. If you have any questions about whether or not I'm the right tutor for you, shoot me a message. I'll get back to you quickly.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I have an PhD in Linguistics from the University of Michigan, completed in August 2020. My research specialty is phonetics and phonology. At the University of Michigan, I taught courses in introductory linguistics, phonetics, and phonology as both a graduate student instructor and the solo (primary) instructor. I have also taught phonetics at phonology at Michigan State University as the primary instructor.
