Experience
I am a seasoned tutor with ten years of teaching experience in the area of English (reading and writing). I've taught in many formal classroom environments. Now, I am here because I prefer tutoring one-on-one, rather than attempting to educate an entire room full of people at once. Don't get me wrong, I loved teaching. I'd just rather get to know students on a personal level and put all of my focus into them, one at a time. I've actually been tutoring since I was a freshman in college at Shenandoah University. It was there that I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. Afterwards, I was offered a fellowship to Clemson University. It was there that I obtained my Master of Arts in English Literature. I received another fellowship toward the end of my journey at Clemson. This time, it was to Duquesne in Pittsburgh. I moved there and achieved ABD status on my PhD.In the summers throughout my college years, I worked at various camps instructing second through tenth graders in the areas of creative writing and theater. I still remain at Cardigan Mountain School in New Hampshire in the summer months. I've spent the past two years working as the editor of Duquesne's literary journal, and I tutor there at the writing center. My own writing has regularly been published since I was an undergraduate. I've had so many different experiences that I feel qualify me to be a phenomenal asset to anyone's academic effort.Whenever I'm not writing or instructing, I like to spend time with family and my beloved animals. We all enjoy watching football together. Whether it's the Carolina Panthers or the Pittsburgh Steelers, I find this time so relaxing. Of course, I also can't turn down time alone with a good book either.
