Bachelors in Writing, General from University of California-Berkeley

Career Experience

I started teaching English Language Arts at the middle school level in 2006. Part of my daily curriculum included journal writing, vocabulary, and grammar review. I have taught a total of 3.5 years in the classroom, not including my time as a substitute teacher. Online, I have been tutoring writing since 2011, mainly helping professionals and college students. I have worked synchronously on a whiteboard and asynchronously. I have written different types of tutorials for career essays, narratives, nursing literature reviews, business reports, resumes, and literary/art analyses.

I Love Tutoring Because

I like helping students figure out their problems. In college, I had a tutor, and she helped me improve tremendously to help me overcome my learning barriers. Learning how to tackle a problem can be frustrating, particularly in writing. A student might misunderstand the assignment directions or simply be confused. It is a thrilling moment when a student understands how to fix that issue because of my help.

Really helped a lot with citation in MLA. I've been confused on that for the 3 weeks we've been learning it, especially because my source had a corporate author. Also tons of help with commas and the content of my writing.

It is not very helpful that the tutor only looked at a part of the paper. What if the end of the paper is worse than the beginning and needed more help. I am NOT PLEASED that the entire paper is not reviewed.

I was required to have the entire paper reviewed as part of an assignment on Tutor.com and was not aware of the 7 page limitation. The tutor said not use "I" in order to remain unbiased, per the uploaded directions personal relevance required in intro.

When giving instructions or feedback give examples instead of making someone feel uneducated. Do not do the work for me, instead examine what I have submitted for what it is .
