About

I hold an Bachelor of Arts degree in English and an MFA in Creative Writing. I can help with English, History, and other Humanities subjects. In particular, I can help with syntax, grammar, argumentation, flow, and organization of ideas. I have experience at the university level as a sessional instructor, teaching assistant, and tutor. I also have experience as an educational assistant, and am comfortable tutoring elementary, high school, and college students.
