Grad Student Tutor For Undergraduate Writing, Communication, & English

Brooklyn C.

It's nice to meet you — I'm Brooklyn! In the past, I have served as a student mentor and peer advisor for 80+ undergraduate university students, helping them communicate their ideas better. Currently, I serve as a teaching assistant at Wake Forest University, and I have also guest lectured in the classroom several times in the past for undergraduate courses at George Fox University and Wake Forest University. I serve students mostly in subjects such as Communication, English, and Writing, since that is what I studied for my BA.

Additionally, I am currently working in these areas for my MA in Communication. I also have experience professionally in marketing and journalism, with several long-form pieces published in "The George Fox Journal," "The Bruin Blog," "The Wineskin," etc.

My teaching style is conversational, practical, and hands-on, which often includes activities and engaged practice to make the content genuinely memorable and useful. In class and in tutoring sessions, I often use examples from pop culture, or I ask students to apply the course concepts to their own lives through an activity, so we can see how the concepts are actually used rather than just studying them in the abstract. I also focus on going at a pace that engages the student(s) rather than a pre-established pace — I remember in school when we would sometimes take things too slowly or too quickly, it would disengage me from the actual learning process! Since one-on-one tutoring is based on an interpersonal relationship, it allows us to work at a pace that emphasizes your growth and learning.
