About My Service:
While I am only 24 years old, I have a lot of professional experience both in and out of the classroom when it comes to assisting others in their education. I believe in the philosophy: work smart, not hard. When you are trying too hard, it usually means there is a more efficient method to the madness! I want to be the person to help you find that method, as that is truly the only way to be sustainable in the classroom for decades to come.
My specialty is in English literature, reading, writing, general test-taking, and writing, but I am well versed in many other subjects as well!
I am based in Honolulu, Hawaii and thus my time is -10 GMT. I prefer to work in the early morning till the late afternoon (0700-1600 GMT), so just message me any questions you may have or even just to chat.
