I'm a liberal arts graduate and professional in my early thirties living in the Midwest United States. My university education was well-rounded with a focus on United States history and English-language literature. To relax I like to read, run, and listen to the radio. If I'm on my computer, I'm probably playing a little GeoGuessr or Minecraft.
I have experience as an adult-education tutor and as an English writing professional, having spent many years working both in my local communities teaching high school equivalency while working as a research and editing assistant at a university. As a result of this I'm comfortable working with all kinds of people towards all different goals! Some of the people I've worked with struggled with formal English and needed to build confidence before approaching short essays, while others were working on dissertations or documents for publication. I want to make a lesson that engages you and introduces you to the strategies and skills you need to succeed.
What we focus on will be up to you! I am happy to find ways for you to learn that meet both your needs and interests, and use them to target the skills you want to improve. If there are topics and subjects you're interested in, I can adapt lessons on things I know well and learn with you on others, while working on your English use and confidence the whole time. Because of my background as an editor, I'm experienced in improving both someone's written work and their writing skills, and if your focus is spoken or conversational English you will still benefit from all of this grammatical and research-related knowledge!
