I have several years experience as a certified literacy tutor and homework helper. I also have TESL certification. (Teaching English as a Second Language. My special skills are in English coursework - covering reading, grammar, spelling, literature, along with writing guidelines for both term and research papers. My goal is to make learning fun, and I use several techniques to help students reach their goals. I enjoy the moment a student understands a certain concept or strategy I've taught them so they're better able to retain and use that new knowledge in their future educational endeavors.
