College English Professor Tutoring (Writing & Literature)

Andie B.

Hi, I'm Andie! I've taught college English classes at multiple universities for more than five years, including subjects such as college writing, nonfiction, and British and World Literature. In addition to teaching university undergraduates, I have also worked with high schoolers as a multi-subject teacher, and with middle school students as a chess coach. When it comes to teaching all of these subjects, I employ a student-centered, question-based pedagogical approach that treats writing, reading, and other forms of skill-building as a step-by-step process.

I started teaching while studying for my doctorate in English literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which I received in 2024. I studied Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, and other English literature from their respective time periods. Samples of my writing can be found in Explorations in Renaissance Culture, Renaissance Drama, and other peer-reviewed journals in the field of early modern history and culture.

I believe language and literature tutoring can help students at all ages and experience levels develop lifelong skills in literacy, critical thinking, and argumentation. My tutoring emphasizes those skills through one-on-one writing consultation, question-based inquiry, and close reading. I treat each student as an individual person and adapt my pedagogy to their individual level of experience and preferred learning style.

I currently offer tutoring remotely on a flexible schedule. My specialties include reading, writing, and literature. I am especially experienced in providing additional preparation for high school students entering college.
