Trisna
Out of Your Vulnerabilities Will Come Your Strength
I'm currently in a writing tutor fellowship at Loyola, which you can only be nominated for by an English teacher. As an undergraduate student, I can offer the insight of a peer while having the experience of a tutor. I enjoy when my tutees connect with English as much as I do. Tutoring is about helping you attain skills to become a better writer so there's just as much informing as there is helping. The outcome is that we both learn something every session. I'm experienced in drafting/inv... Read more
