Experience
I know from experience that seeking help with learning is one of the ways I excelled in the classroom. I gained my confidence in academics and other areas of life through being tutored. I am dedicated to teaching and I love working with people who want to improve their academic skills. I have degrees in English and Political Science. I am great at teaching writing, history, English, religious studies, and political science. My tutoring style includes getting to know what my pupil is struggling with and finding a teaching method that works for them. I avoid giving the straight answer, instead, I teach the process of how to get to the answer. In tutoring writing, I never try to change what the student wrote, I suggest ways to enhance the way you convey your ideas. I enjoy writing so much because I love to hear my pupils personalities shine through as I read their papers or essays. I look forward to meeting new students and helping them meet and exceed their academic goals. When I am not teaching, you can find me watching and playing sports, reading, and listening to music.
