Experience
I attended Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, where I earned my bachelor's degree in writing. I continued my education by earning my master's of fine arts at the Iowa Writers Workshop that the University of Iowa sponsors. In the intervening years, I was employed by nonprofits that were focused on education. One wall called Free Geek, where I had the opportunity to teach people how to build computers in a group setting. This was the first teaching opportunity I had, and set the tone for my further teaching in conventional academic classes. The first thing I focus on when teaching or tutoring is taking the mystery out of a concept. This helps ease a student's fear, which is probably their greatest obstacle to learning anything. I have a lot of experience tutoring ESL students to write and edit essays for various classes, mainly English. As I learned about the methods their teachers were using, I learned ways to improve on them for the individual student, by focusing on their learning style, and their interests, so the lessons could be more relatable to them. I also tutor undergrads in literature and creative writing, and get very positive reviews from my students.
