I've never really tutored before outside of helping my classmates, but even still I excel when it comes to teaching others tactics for reading and writing. I am extremely patient and studious when it comes to helping others learn, especially children. I graduated a year earlier than I should have due to skipping a grade because of my reading and writing skills. I took two years of AP English (Rhetoric and Literature) in high school and scored a 4 (out of a maximum score of 5) on my AP exam. I also scored around a 1700 on my SAT, mainly excelling in the Reading and Writing portion.

When I teach I want to engage the student or students. I want to grab their interest and keep it. This requires two main things of the teacher: he must know the subject well and he must have enthusiasm for the subject. This almost ensures that the student will enjoy being taught.

I have over three years of professional writing experience. After graduating from the University of Texas at Dallas with my degree in Creative Writing I went on to serve as the President of the Houston Writers Guild for a full year and now serve on the Board of Directors at the Gulf Coast Federation of Writers. I have performed Freelance Editing since my graduation and led numerous Critique Circles for each organization I’ve worked with, learning to balance criticism with encouragement for optimal improvement. I am a very hands on teacher and my preferred method is to have the student read their work aloud while I follow along and edit. It's remarkable how much they begin to catch on their own. This is followed through with my own take on their work, pointing out the errors they missed and suggesting improvements, always in an encouraging manner.
