...sure that individuality is manifest on the page. I have a passion for argumentative writing, creative writing, and vocabulary across al age groups.

I look forward to working with any and all clients that want a boost in their writer's morale! In my free time, I love writing stories, watching Netflix, crafting from Pinterest, and hiking local trails with friends.

Getting new insight on problems that are difficult to solve can be beneficial, even more so sometimes than self-study. I aim to provide or hint at approaches, give background on concepts, and cooperate with the student so that they succeed and are satisfied!

...teaching music in a cappella rehearsals, and helping friends and classmates with their academic issues. I am a firm believer that an English tutor is not there to tell their student how to understand the text or make essay edits for them, but to provide them with the tools and background information necessary for them to figure out their own interpretations and make their own edits. While the reading and writing of books is my...
