Olivia was quick and efficient, fixed basic grammar mistakes, and edited wording for improved flow and clarity, as well as giving multiple options for certain tricky situations. Very good experience, would be happy to work together again in the future.
Helpful, pleasant, and professional. Would definitely work with again!
My typical process starts by going over the student's assignment, and asking them to explain it to me as they understand it. From here, we have a good jumping-off point into the areas in which they are struggling.
I have a degree in English with a couple years of freelance editing, copywriting, and proofreading under my belt.
My standard pricing is $20 for a half hour consultation, $40 for an hour long consultation, and then $15/hr for any subsequent lessons.
I have been working with children since I was a pre-teen, when I began volunteering in my church's children's ministry. Since then, I have had many babysitting jobs, and several private tutoring sessions. I aided children & teens with after-school homework in my time working in Childcare, and later during my time as an Education Ranger at Acadia National Park, I was able to teach to many different grade levels in school.
I have worked with students who are second graders, all the way up to college students.
Look for someone who cares about your voice.
What does my assignment want me to do? What have I done so far? How can I improve my understanding through context clues?
Or, if a student is writing an essay; how much research or reading have I done? Do I need to create an outline or revisit my thesis?
