Experience Summary
I have taught English and writing for various educational levels and specialize in essay composition. I teach students how to construct solid, unified essays in different writing modes with a developed thesis, strong supporting paragraphs, concrete examples, proper diction, grammar and proper English usage. I also teach students how to read and think critically about the author’s implications and then write a composition based on their understanding of the text’s main idea, point of view, explanation, and examples.
Teaching Style
I am a patient and understanding tutor and will never intimidate a student.
My Hobbies
I enjoy bike riding, swimming, reading, writing and watching independent films.
