Amy L.
Bishop Strachan School, McGill University
Student at McGill University, majoring in Cultural Studies (a branch of English Lit).
I am a student at McGill University, where I major in Cultural Studies (a branch of English Lit) and minor in Philosophy. The beginning of this year, I started writing for The McGill Daily, McGill’s oldest newspaper. From this opportunity, I developed the ability to write, in detail, about a variety of topics including culture and current affairs. Furthermore, it taught me how to efficiently communicate with a variety of diverse individuals and foster healthy work relationships.Prior to achieving the position of editor, I was a writer for my school newspaper for three years. Once promoted, I was in charge of deciding the content for each issue and editing the works of numerous students. This position taught me how to remain on-top of current events and learn how to attract my target audience. Furthermore, being editor strengthened my writing skills in terms of grammar and structure. I also improved my ability to work under pressure without comprising the quality of my work. In my graduating year of high school, I won the The Leta Macdonell Currer ’65 Memorial Scholarship for my expertise in writing and studies in English Lit.

Kristi C.
St. Thomas Aquinas College, Rockland Community College
College Graduate with a BA in English and a Native English Speaker
I am a college graduate with a Bachelor's degree in English. In my academic studies, I was given the opportunity to broaden my knowledge on literature and writing composition. I have analyzed texts of varying lengths and subjects as well as written essays of varying lengths based on research of specified topics. On certain occasions, I have created presentations on specific topics or themes from the assigned piece of literature such as the theme of nature in Shakespeare's "As You Like It" and the history of African American Vernacular English. Through proofreading and editing not only my own work/writing but those of others, I have experience ensuring that one's own work is grammatically correct and its content is relevant to the topic assigned as well as written in a way that is tailored properly to their audience. I also have an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences which shows that I have taken courses in various subject fields such as the social sciences and history with exceptional grades. I am bilingual in both English and Haitian Creole so I have experience interacting with other bilingual individuals and assisting in translation and/or comprehension of the English language. My approach to tutoring is that there is no "one size fits all" tutoring method so I will work one on one with a student to ensure that their needs are being met through learning about the student as an individual and going over material that leads to improvement in their studies.
