Take advantage of a private tutoring session to help with academic writing. Students will be encouraged to send a sample of their composition, or they may want to begin their work with the instructor's guidance. Because this course is one-on-one, I can focus on the particular areas that students are struggling with. This may be crafting a thesis, organization, flow of ideas, brainstorming and outlines, grammar, syntax, formatting, research, etc. Each course will be tailored to the areas students need help with the most, and for older students, I offer classes that cover MLA and APA formatting exclusively, as this is a big part of the college writing process.
Learning Goals
Students may improve their understanding of composition, which includes composing a strong thesis and crafting a smooth, well-organized and well-researched essay, as well as fostering a greater understanding of grammar and syntax.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Samantha Fitch. I have my BA in English, my MA in TESOL, and my PhD in Literature. I currently teach Literature and Writing at Yavapai College. My passion is travel, and learning about other cultures. I have taught in Istanbul, in Heidelberg, and in Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca. I was the Director of Study Abroad at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (where I also taught Technical Writing) and was fortunate enough to lead students on a trip to Munich and Berlin. While living abroad I have been able to visit many countries, and I like to share this passion for the world with you, right from your own home! My classes usually start with a story, and then we incorporate some geography, language, food, and other cultural aspects with activities. My other passion is learning about animals and nature, which I enjoy doing with my three children out here in the desert Southwest!
