Connie: Hinsdale tutor

Certified Tutor

I believe that every day is knowledge and experience gained. Currently, I work as a freelance academic researcher and writer with a great deal of editing experience. I am a recent graduate from Guilford College and hold a BA in English arts with a minor in Early World History, but I have also studied world religions and art history. I am proficient in most writing styles including MLA, Chicago, AP, and APA. I love literature and favor British literature prior to 1890, with a special affinity for the Gothic.
I am always willing to learn and teach myself if necessary in order to help another gain a better understanding of a subject I can help with. In the past, I have always used my skills to help others in subjects which have come easy for me such as English, history, and religion. I have used my skills to aid friends and fellow students in improving not only their understanding of difficult texts while helping them to improve both their grammar and writing skills, but also improving their grades. Over the years, I have acquired a list of useful resources which are often helpful in teaching particular skills in the arenas of English literature and grammar. When trying to build an understanding, I have often incorporated these resources and been careful to point out key elements intended to guide them toward relevant connections and encourage them to develop their own thoughts and conclusions.
