ABOUT ME AND MY STYLE 

I have been teaching essay writing for over ten years and I love to expand students writing by asking them questions about their writing to get them to expand their ideas. I also believe that students need to have a structure to write from to really master the art of essay writing. 

I also have lots of experience with students with a number of different abilities and neurodiverse students. I have experience with blind students, autistic students, students with ADHD, etc. If your student needs any accommodations to make this class more accessible for them please feel free to reach out and I will make these accommodations to the best of my ability.

Hello, I’m Angela AKA The Truthful Tutor. I have been a tutor for the last 12 years. 

I love my job and love working with all the students that I have come across. My passion in life is making sure that students have the tools that they need to succeed and learn everything they can.

Since being a tutor, I have learned many tips and tricks and want to make sure that those tools can get into the hands of students through tutoring, so they can tap into their potential. 

The most important thing that I have learned is that success begins early. The earlier that students are given the tools they need to succeed the better that they will do.

I have lots of experience with students with a number of different abilities and neurodiverse students. I have experience with blind students, autistic students, students with ADHD, etc. If your student needs any accommodations to make this class more accessible for them please feel free to reach out and I will make these accommodations to the best of my ability.
