I am currently a PhD candidate in the English department at University of Houston, with 15 years of experience working or volunteering in public education. I also spent several of those years private tutoring.

I was an AVID tutor in Humble ISD for 7 years, I spent a few years as a substitute teacher in the same district, and I have been teaching First Year Writing at University of Houston since 2023. I am one semester away from receiving my TEFL certificate at UH, and I have a lifelong experience with learning and teaching languages after growing up trilingual. I also have an undergraduate Minor in Spanish.

I can tutor all of the following subjects including Writing (including Graduate/Thesis level), Executive Functioning, ESL, SAT/ACT Prep, Beginner and Intermediate Spanish, and GRE Prep.

Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have an Undergraduate and Master's degree in English, and part of my PhD specialty is in Composition Studies (Writing). I have been teaching First Year Writing classes at University of Houston since 2023. Before teaching at University of Houston, I tutored in English and essay writing at the University of St. Thomas for 3 years, and before that I was a private tutor for several years.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have written my fair share of personal statements in applications for undergraduate, Master's, and PhD programs over the years, and I can proudly say that I got into my preferred PhD program in only the first year of applications (and with only 3 applications that year). I have also had to write personal statements for travel fellowships every time I go to a conference at which I am presenting, and I have served on multiple committees where I have had to evaluate personal statements.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

For my Master's degree at University of St. Thomas, I wrote a 90-page thesis over representations of Irish women in theater. I successfully defended that thesis in 2023. I am also currently writing a 200-300 page dissertation for my PhD in English. I also have several years of tutoring experience for writing essays.
