Experience

I love to tutor students in reading and writing, because both have been a passion since I was a young child. When other children were playing games, I was reading great books and writing my own. I even had my dream career chosen at that age, and my dream was to teach. I like helping others not only learn to write because they have to, but to truly enjoy creating work that they are proud to share with the world. When tutoring, I strive to teach students the tools they need to achieve success and help not just inspire my students, but to help them find their own inspiration lurking deep inside of them. I also love teaching students the mechanics of creating great work, including first creating an outline, then a draft, and lastly, a final draft. I attended my dream college, Northwestern University, for two years, and I then obtained my bachelor's degree from Southern Connecticut State University after a move. Next, I obtained my Ph.D. in English from Rice University, where I also took classes in Medieval Studies. I also attended the Medill School of Journalism, where I further advanced my writing skills and truly mastered my craft. In my free time, I love to travel, and my favorite destination is Scotland because I have Scottish ancestors; I also love visiting the UK. Of course, I still spend much of my personal time reading, with Jane Austen as one of my favorite authors. I also love spending quality time with my Parrot named Toto.
