Tutor Information

About

-First 15 minute session is free! We can figure out your needs and go from there!- I'm a middle school English teacher in lovely Richmond, Virginia, looking to help the next generation of students develop a passion for language and literature! I have an unparalleled amount of patience and understanding due to teaching 7th and 8th graders and having a toddler of my own. My focus is on reading comprehension, writing, spelling, grammar, and communication, but I want students to ENJOY the subject and find ways to express their thoughts and feelings about their work. If reading and writing seems boring to you, we simply need to find a way to incorporate your interests in it. If you need help in a certain area, need help writing or editing a term paper, or need help unlocking the hidden depths of literature, I'm here to help!
