I love guiding individuals through the writing process because I believe we are all stronger communicators when we can tighten our stories' deliveries (in any language). As a Peace Corps health educator in Ethiopia for 3.5 years, I worked with a plethora of ages, ranging from 3 to 65, to teach and design behavior-change strategies. A lot of that meant working alongside neighbors and professionals to recognize the weight their voices carry. Eventually, this morphed into establishing new English curricula for the county high school and three elementary schools! I love tutoring English and writing skills because each person has the capability to deliver a story, to inspire others, to achieve top-notch dreams. We do this when we can relate to other people, when we can shock, stun, and awe our listeners. My favorite component of tutoring is witnessing the moment when, during editing exercises, individuals catch and identify how to make their own writing shine. I won't speak to you in predicates and conjunctions jargon -- I only use the technical terms when providing examples that holistically relate to stronger writing. I have my bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Florida, one of the nation's top journalism programs. During my time at UF, I worked as a writing tutor for international students, as well as an editor managing 20 student reporters for the city's local National Public Radio affiliate. I read the thesaurus for fun and find myself most relaxed when I'm revising content. I also taught English as a second language for three years, through a foreign language. Not only do I understand how to read my native language through the lens of another language, but I understand the intricacies of what makes language tick. If you want a tutor who will get you excited about writing instead of dreading the comma splice, I'm your tutor. I will create lessons specific to you and your needs, and we'll work together to take you to the step you desire to reach -- and then we'll take a few steps further, too. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your needs and set up lessons!
