Writing And Humanities Tutoring (Sumyat Thu, PhD)
About
I have had a wealth of experience in teaching and tutoring for more than a decade. I approach tutoring as a student-centered conversation and learning opportunity where I listen to your learning needs and help you figure out tools and strategies to make progress in what you are learning or writing. Let's work together and make it a great learning experience!
In terms of my credentials, I have a PhD in English language and rhetoric, an MA in English language and rhetoric, and a BA with a major in Psychology. Please see my LinkedIn profile here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumyat-thu-ph-d-155524112/

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I listen first to the student what kind of project they are working on, how they have approached it so far, what kind of issues they might be encountering, and what kind of help and conversation the student would like to have with me. I then look at the student's work, ask clarifying questions, and approach it as a collaborative conversation and learning where I help students come up with tools and strategies to address the writing/learning issues they are working through.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a PhD in English language and rhetoric, an MA in English language and rhetoric, and a BA in psychology. I also have experience tutoring SAT and TOEFL reading and writing.
