About
I've found that, despite English being abstract, we can deconstruct and compartmentalize certain aspects and techniques that allow students to develop unique, effective writing styles that convey messages and strengthen communication skills.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, and most importantly, we need to discover the biggest roadblock that we will be facing together. After identifying this, we need to find whatever core strengths exist and build on those as a bridge across that obstacle. Once basic understanding is achieved, we can develop consistent methodologies for continously addressing these issues.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an English Education graduate, have tutored and assisted many students in the past and have received praise for the successes that we, as a team, create.
I've devoted my life to reading on how people think, why they think the way they do and how this can affect our daily lives in any number of ways. This has helped break down educational roadblocks by finding overlapping issues and breakdowns in why people see things in negative lights.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing follow whatever is the average in the area I'm working in.
How did you get started teaching?
I started as a student. I volunteered to work with peers and assist my teachers in lessons. I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing students succeed and this followed me.
What types of students have you worked with?
Generally high school aged or higher. My initial shadowing program was high school freshman but anything below that would be slightly foreign to me.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my closest friend's brothers recently was admitted to USF on an english degree path. When we reconnected after years apart, he was going nowhere in life, but over a few short years, he's now on his way to a degree and career helping people.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for someone you can develop a rapport with. Knowledge can only take someone so far, you could have the most knowledgable teacher or professor but if they can't convey that, it does no good. Be willing to move on amicably to find the perfect fit for you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Mostly "why" and "how" questions. "How can we overcome this?" "Why do you think I might be having difficulty in this subject?" It's important to identify the hitch in the process as quickly as possible to spur growth
