Experience
Having received the highest possible honors for both my MA and my BA, I am qualified to tutor particularly for writing, english, and organization. In particular, my BA in English (creative writing) involved several types of research, consistent use of standard writing styles (Chicago Style & MLA, for instance), and, over time, I developed an organizational pattern for writing focused papers and essays. I have also held several professional positions in which writing and organization were necessary skills. For example, as a film reviewer, I regularly analyze and craft arguments about film style and technique. Also, as a Jr. Acct. Executive for Midas Public Relations in London, I crafted press releases, carefully choosing the best phrasing to sell a particular product or event to the press. With these qualifications, among others, I am hoping to instruct students in the craft, from creative writing to academic research. My focus in teaching is always on the students, developing their skills in areas of weakness and expanding their skills in areas of strength. PS Please don't judge the photo. :) No matter which photo I used, the University Tutor website stretched the image. Bizarre.
