Valerie
Writing Tutor with 5+ years of Experience
Hi, everyone! If you’re like most people, you’ve probably heard the quote, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.†This quote sums up my philosophy on teaching students to become better writers. Simply editing or proofreading a paper for a student will certainly help with that one essay. However, it is not the most effective way to help that student in the long run. Rather, I believe that teaching students to become better writers... Read more

Tyler
Architectural Designer & Part-time Tutor
I've been tutoring or mentoring in some capacity since 2006. I started in High School as a volunteer helping kids study for German, Math, English, and other subjects they might've needed some help in to do better on tests. From 2009-2010 up to recently in 2016 my tutoring was more of a part-time job either outside class or work. Whether it was help in SAT prep, CAD, or the Adobe Suite, I would tailor a lesson plan specific to each student. These "students" would range from actual students to ... Read more
