I have fourteen+ years of experience teaching Language to students of all ages. I have graduated with a 4.0 and hold a Master of Education degree, HBASc (Criminology) degree, Social Service Worker diploma, and Law Clerk diploma. Throughout my career as an English tutor, I have helped students with their English courses. I am fluent in the English language and I am very familiar of the requirements that students must achieve in order to be successful in their writing courses. For example, I have helped students structure essays from beginning to end and taught how to properly structure sentences, how to integrate valuable supporting details, how to properly source, include in-text citations, analyze academic journals, and how to paraphrase information that is relevant to the topic at hand. Writing is a skill that requires attention to detail and it requires students to pay close attention to their topic so that they do not present irrelevant information in their piece. As an English tutor, I teach students how to stay on topic, formulate a topic sentence, use strong adjectives and adverbs to provide great description to their writing, how to target different audiences, how to appropriately and professionally write a persuasive piece, and how to organize ideas so that writing is presented in a cohesive and clear manner. Throughout my career, I have worked with students as young as six years old to students who are in their fourth year of university. I am an educator who pays close attention to detail and I teach students how to elaborate their thoughts. Many times, students can get very discouraged because they can only come up with one or two thoughts about a certain topic. I do not let that discourage my students; instead, I help them expand their ideas by posing additional questions which allows them to delve deeper into their topic. My education is a combination of various academic disciplines which allows me to provide students with plenty examples and samples of how to properly write. I strongly believe that my expertise will inspire and help students develop their potentials in becoming amazing writers.
