Hillary
I have tutored, taught, and facilitated groups, ages 12 and older, for over 10 years now. My tutoring and teaching experiences consist of the following:
– I tutored online with School Tutoring Academy (grades 6-12), mainly SAT prep, from 2017-2018 and then started tutoring only a few students while finishing my PhD in English
– I tutored at my university’s writing centers (undergraduate and graduate students) from 2017-2018 and 2011-2014
– I taught college writing from 2015-2017 and will teach another course on Technical Writing in Summer 2020
– I student taught 7th and 8th grade English in 2014
One of my main goals as a tutor is help students get what they need; we discuss what they already know about the topic or assignment, and we work on a plan together for what they need to know. This means that strong communication, dedication, and flexibility are required of both the student and myself.
