Experience
I received my graduate degree in English from Oregon State University. During my undergraduate studies I worked as a personal tutor for a student in the seventh grade with a learning disability. Each day we worked on every subject after school. As a graduate student, I was given the opportunity to teach numerous composition classes to first year students as a teaching assistant. Throughout both my graduate and undergraduate studies I worked closely with other professors as their teaching assistant. These experiences have taught me just how much fear and anxiety many students experience when it comes to writing. This inspired me to meet each student where they are. I take the time to listen to each of my students and discover what they are specifically struggling with and then cultivating a learning plan that will address these issues and allow them to ultimately improve their skills. Some of the courses I tutor include reading, writing, literature, elementary math, middle school math, and high school math. My goal as a teacher is not just to give them the skills they need to improve in a subject area but also to show them the power they will have to more fully express themselves and their potential with these new skills.
