Profile Details

Experience Summary

I love teaching and learning! I have degrees in English and law, and have over ten years' experience teaching and tutoring in many subjects. I enjoy teaching students at all levels, from struggling learners to second language learners to doctoral candidates. My forte is research and writing, and I am familiar with APA, MLA, and Bluebook format. I can take a good paper and make it great! I work as a teacher and tutor at Lynn University's Writing Center.

Teaching Style

I tailor my teaching style to individual needs. I like to use Powerpoints, interactive quizzes, and online resources such as quiz flash cards to enhance my tutoring, and if I notice an area of weakness I will find exercises to address the problem. I can also help with study skills.

My Hobbies

Trivia quizzes, writing, hanging out at Starbucks, working out.
