Hi, I'm Travis! I'm a PhD Candidate, TEFL-certified tutor, and learning and development professional who helps students and working adults strengthen their English, writing, communication, and career skills.

I provide personalized one-to-one tutoring in English, academic and essay writing, thesis writing, proofreading and editing, public speaking, interview preparation, résumé creation, and career development. Whether you're improving your English, working on an academic paper, preparing for an important presentation, or taking the next step in your career, I tailor each lesson to your individual goals and learning needs.

I am currently completing a PhD in Law and hold an LLM in International Law from the University of Birmingham, an MA in Human Rights from Keele University, and a BA in Women's Studies from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I also hold a 120-hour TEFL certification. In my career, I design policies and procedures, support employee development, and mentor students and emerging leaders.

My approach is supportive, practical, and personalized. I aim not only to help you complete the task in front of you, but also to develop the skills and confidence you can apply independently in the future.
If you have questions about whether I can help with your goals, feel free to send me a message. I'd be happy to discuss what you're working on and how we can approach it together.
