MA Student Tutor with Expertise in Essay Writing and Reading Comprehension
Hello! My name is Mackenzie, I am 24 and have a Master's degree in Philosophy from McMaster University. I have two years of experience tutoring at the university level, and have completed courses in a wide array of subjects in the Humanities and Social Sciences, including History, English, Psychology, Sociology and Political Science, Law and Legal Theory, Formal Logic and Critical Thinking, Classics (Greek and Roman history and literature), Communications, Research Methods, and Philosophy. I have a strong academic background, graduating from my BA on the Dean's Honours List with a GPA of 11.6 (12 point scale), and receiving several scholarships and research grants. To list some: In 2020, I was awarded McMaster's Undergraduate Student Research Award. Upon entering my Master's program, in 2021, I was awarded the Harry Lymann Hooker Fellowship. Most recently, I was awarded the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada's CGS-M research scholarship. My expertise is in Philosophy, which means I have thoroughly developed research, argumentation, reading comprehension and writing skills. With these skills, I can help you improve upon your own reading, writing, and comprehension. I can help you draft essay outlines, craft strong arguments, and employ and improve upon your critical thinking skills. I can help you edit and review your own writing with a critical eye to ensure your writing is as strong as it can be. I can also guide you through the close reading process, helping you to break down the content of a text and understand its meaning and structure. These are skills which are necessary to succeed in all manner of subjects, and are the foundations of academic success. My experience with a wide array of courses and fields will allow me to guide you in applying these skills in the ways which are most appropriate to a given subject. Whether you struggle to understand difficult texts or with writing persuasive papers, I am here to help!

A qualified tutor with highly recommended experience in shaping a non-English speaker into a proficient English Speaker.
I'm a fully qualified English tutor from South Africa. I love learning about different cultures and countries. I'm very passionate about the English language and aspire to pass on my knowledge and skills to those who also want to master the English language. I'm a very patient tutor who believes that with the right mindset and eagerness to learn, we all have the power to achieve whatever we set our minds to. I have experience in helping students master the English language and becoming confident in reading, writing and speaking in English. In our class, we're going to focus on grammar, pronunciation, comprehension and vocabulary, as these are the core concepts of mastering the English language. I am a very relaxed yet professional tutor and understand that the learning process can often be very stressful already, so I do not want to add to that. I'll create a holistic environment that stimulates constant growth and challenges oneself to improve through getting out-of one's comfort zone and stretching one's mind so as to see how far one's capabilities can reach with mastering new language learning skills. The first time we speak to each other, I will ask you exactly what it is that you wish to learn, and perhaps why, and some questions about your own interests too. This will allow me to structure our conversations in such a way as to eventually fulfil your goals of speaking your desired language as fluently and as confidently as possible. It does not matter what language or languages you currently speak, all that you need is the eagerness and the willpower to learn. So,If you have the eagerness and desire to improve your English writing, reading, grammar, spelling skills, and I would be more than happy to patiently be of your assistance.
