In high school, I tutored classmates and younger children. As I grew up, I realized how much I enjoyed seeing people use the English language correctly. If I can help with that process, that makes me happy. I believe that people learn more if they do their own work; therefore, I prefer to use the "teach a man to fish" method, whereby I oversee a student as he does his own work, and give prompts when necessary. I also like to inject a sense of humor, because sometimes a student needs to rem... Read more

Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing

This requires conveying a sense of appreciation for storytelling and awe at the power of the written word. Engagement with texts that will interest students is key. My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more
