About
I believe that my service stands out because I am genuinely passionate about teaching others. Although I am not a certified teacher at a school, I did graduate with a BS In English Literature from SUNY Brockport. I received the highest academic honors and a 3.86 GPA. I have already helped many people with essays and other writing projects. I have also taught yoga and silkscreen printing and everyone I’ve worked with has remarked on my patience and thoroughness. If you were to hire me, you would have my full attention at all times.
Put simply, I enjoy spreading any knowledge I have and seeing results. This has always come naturally to me. I am the team leader at the group home I work in, and it pleases me to train other employees so that the residents get the best possible service. I believe that solid linguistic skills develop the whole mind and can improve your entire life, even outside of school.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I ask them to assess their own strengths and weaknesses before actually getting to work on the specific project. Then, I will look at any work that has been done and provide some general commentary. If that is not sufficient, I can get into more detail regarding structure, grammar , usage or whatever is required.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I wrote many essays while attending school and I have helped others with their own quite frequently.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $22 per hour and I am willing to charge by quarter and half hours if needed.
How did you get started teaching?
I am just beginning as a professional tutor.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with a variety of types including some with ADHD and spelling difficulties, to name but a couple.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am fond of the fact that I recently started writing a book of creative nonfiction. It has been over a decade since I wrote “my own stuff.” I also started doing yoga daily again. It had been a while for that as well.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Go with your instincts and determine whether the profile and the words it contains click with you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should try to find out for themselves if the teacher seems to care about their growth. If it appears that the teacher is only looking for extra cash, or is dragging out the hours instead of keeping things direct and simple, then they might want to look elsewhere.
