I earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Georgia State University College of Law, and a Bachelor of Arts in English Composition and Rhetoric from from the University of Georgia with a certificate in Interdisciplinary Writing. I concentrated my English coursework in composition and rhetoric in many disciplines including everything from Chaucer to Graphic Novel Theory. I can offer assistance in basic to advanced Reading Comprehension, Grammar skills, essay and research development skills and advanced writing and editing techniques. I can also offer assistance with general study skills, time management, and problem solving skills. I'm a practiced hand at learning to study, and I was never a naturally successful academic - I had to work at it and teach myself, and figure out ways to be successful, and I can help you do the same! My teaching strategy as a tutor in any subject makes my students love me because I will go the extra mile for each and every student who truly wants to learn. I challenge my students to think complexly in ways they generally have not been challenged to think before, and I refuse to give answers. I truly believe every student can rise to any challenge given proper guidance, and I feel they can see I truly believe in their abilities. My job as a tutor is to guide my students in their development and show them strategies to become better readers, writers, and thinkers independently, not to show them where commas go. I am not a boring English teacher who expects students to love everything I put in front of them. I have a very broad base of experience and, believe me, not all of it I found interesting. I love Graphic Novels and Comics, British Literature, and Poets like Wallace Stevens and Eliot. I love to get to know my students and I want to help them find their interests so they can learn to love and understand reading and writing! In my free time I like to rock climb, watch movies, read, lift weights and hang out with my friends.
