About
I'm a junior in high school who has always excelled in high-level english classes! I've won multiple awards for my writing and have participated in many events such as poetry slams. I've helped ages 5-16 through after school programs with everything from basic topics such as spelling and reading to grammar and even essays or proofreading! I love helping others and want you or your child to succeed with confidence! As a teenager, I think many children or other teens will find it much less intimidating to work with me rather than an adult!
I love helping people grow to become their best selves! I love seeing their confidence grow along with their abilities!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I want to make you feel comfortable! Let's get to know each other a little bit! Tutoring can be embarrassing or just not fun for some people, but I want to change that! Then, I would want to become familiar with the course you're taking. I'd also love to discuss your strengths and weaknesses with this subject, what you need to focus on, and set some tutoring goals! I want to help you get what you need out of tutoring!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm currently a high school student and I've worked with children ages 5-16 in and outside the classroom. I tutored elementary students in reading, spelling, and writing for a year. I have also proofread numerous essays and college applications for older students as well!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I'm honestly pretty flexible! I'm just getting started in paid tutoring and just want to help people!

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
