I believe that every student is unique, and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to education. That's why I take the time to get to know each of our students, and I tailor our tutoring programs to meet their individual needs and learning styles.
I offer a wide range of tutoring programs to meet the needs of every student. Whether you need help with writing at any academic level or K-5 reading, I have a program that's right for you. I have years of education and experience, and I'm dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
I hold a Master's in Literature and Writing as well as a BA in English, and I am certified to teach English as a Second Language. Over the years, I have tutored with respected organizations such as International Language Plus, North Carolina Educational Corp, California Educational Corp, and the Cherokee County, NC School District, as well as the online platforms of BookNook, Tutor.com, and Varsity Tutors. My collegiate teaching experience includes positions at Wilmington College, Defiance College, and Wright State University, where I have helped diverse learners develop strong writing and research skills and a love for literature.
I understand that using an online service can be intimidating. For this reason, I will provide an FBI background check,
as well as my credentials, upon request.
In addition, I can be found on Super Prof, BookNook, and Varsity Tutors.
