Experience

Yes, when I say the Oxford Programme for Undergraduate Students, I mean that I studied abroad at Oxford University in England. Oxford uses a tutorial system. Professors, or tutors, meet with students one-on-one and mentor them individually. I cannot begin to express how much this kind of direct attention benefitted me and, in turn, impressed upon me the importance of a one-on-one learning experience. I have a real passion for helping struggling students get their thoughts out on paper. My approach is to break down writing to its essentials, looking at each element individually, and then work to connect the parts together. While each writing project is different, the skills utilized to approach it are the same. I want to help students see what approach works best for them so that they can feel confident when they sit down to write.

Hobbies

I am the quintessential English major. I love the quiet corner of a coffee shop with a good book or an intimate group of friends. I read mostly classics, my favorite authors being Milton and Trollope, but my focus in undergrad was Anglo Saxon studies (Beowulf, etc...). I will be starting an M.A. program in this field in fall of 2015, for which I am very excited. I will be continuing my education through a doctoral program, after which I hope to achieve my lifetime goal of an office at university with a fireplace and a dizzying number of books.
