Though my areas of expertise in content are in history, English, and Bible studies, my understanding of grammar, syntax, and clausal structuring can be useful to students across any and all subjects. Fair warning: I am an Oxford comma enthusiast! I am well-versed in the nitty-gritty of the English language's obnoxious grammatical rules, and would be delighted to he... Read more

My name is Emma, and I'm a recent graduate of Goucher College in Maryland, where I earned my Bachelor's degree. My fields of study are English literature, creative writing, and art history. One other thing I might say about myself is that I am a natural-born "digger." I love research. When I'm sorting through stacks of books, I'm in my element. Whether I'm analyzing Tolstoy, researching for a... Read more
