Fun Facts
One of my favorite things to do is read novels, however not many know how much I love to dance! I started training at 3 years old and continued until my senior year of high school. I was also born and raised in the Caribbean so I'll take dancing on the beach over pretty much anything!
About Me
I am a Junior English major with a minor in Journalism. I currently reside in D.C. as a student at Howard University. My dream job would be lounging around reading unfitted manuscripts and then working with people to develop and publish their novels. So realistically speaking my main goal is to become an editor for a publishing company.
Experience
I am a mentor for the U.S. Dream Academy here in D.C., so I mentor and washington-dc">tutor at-risk elementary school kids weekly. I'm also a member of Sigma Tau Delta, an English honor society so I frequently spend my time working with students of all majors on developing their papers and essays here on campus.
Approach
Growing up I loved to read, however I hated writing. I believe there are many writing styles just as there are teaching styles. It is important to help students figure out what works for them before they are discouraged and begin to "hate" certain subjects. Instead of giving answers I think it is important for students to be comfortable with the material as well as knowledgeable on the best ways to approach a seemingly difficult problem.

I enjoy reading and through these classes as well as on my own I have become familiar with some of the greatest literature the world has to offer.

While in high school received "A's" in all of my History classes. I have taken Caribbean History, U.S. History, World History as well as A.P. U.S. History on which I received a score of 4. I have most recently taken U.S. History from 1867 here at Howard where I also received an A.
Homework Coach Tutoring
As someone who grew up hating homework I can sympathize with students in this area. However I know that homework is one of the best way to reinforce already learned ideas. As a homework coach I can work with a student's teacher to determine where they are struggling as well as the best ways to improve.
Reading Comprehension Tutoring
As an English major most of my homework and free time is dedicated to reading. Reading comprehension is necessary for academic success. Because of my major I am familiar with a wide range of literature. I am also dedicated to ensuring that the student fully understands what they are reading.
Religion Tutoring
I attended a Catholic school for 6 years and while I was raised Christian, I am not a Catholic. Learning about different religions that I may not personally practice has given me understanding as well as the ability to adequately educate other students on the topic while remaining objective.
Study Skills Tutoring
Good study skills are important for academic success. Study skills often vary by subject but routinely going over the information is one of the best ways to improve study skills. So far my academic career has taught me that studying consistently is better than cramming at the last minute.
