Experience Summary
I am currently an English major, specifying in creative writing, at Virginia Tech. In high school, I took both of the offered AP English courses and passed with a 4 on both. In college, almost every class I have taken has been English-oriented, with regards to either literature or writing. When it comes to helping others, I have been editing friends' papers some in high school and multiple times weekly in college. I am able to find what they are doing wrong and constructively advise ways to fix their problems with writing.
Teaching Style
I like to see examples of what the person is having difficulty with in order to pinpoint problems and then work on them from there.
My Hobbies
Outside of reading and writing, I like to dance, act, sing, play video games, listen to music, and spend time with my family, friends, and pets.
