Experience
I received a B.A. in English Literature from Grand Canyon University and am working toward a master's in Secondary Education. My tutoring experience includes work with both graduate and undergraduate students in Expository Composition, Creative Writing, Grammar, and Literature. Additional areas of expertise include ESL/ELL, Reading, Phonics, and Public Speaking. I believe strongly in the power of education; in fact, I believe it to be a necessity for any student who wishes to improve the circumstances of his life. In addition to helping with the subject matter at hand, I try to instill an understanding of the importance of a solid education in the students I work with. Although I am open to working with students across a wide range of ages and educational levels, I particularly like teaching junior high school and high school students. My teaching experience is not limited to academic settings; I also taught swimming and served as a counselor in a summer camp. It will probably come as no surprise that I am an avid reader. Some of the writers I appreciate most include Virginia Woolf, Fyodor Dostoevsky, David Foster Wallace, J.K. Rowling, and Jack Kerouac. I also enjoy boarding sports, swimming, writing, and--once in a while--a good video game.
