      Tutor

      Mission Statement: "We help people negotiate the process of problem solving through the act of writing."I have reached the highest level of CRLA (College and Reading Learning Association) certification for a tutor. I tutor students one-to-one for an hour on a piece of writing they bring with them. I quickly diagnose their personality, learning style, what needs they want met, and other needs the piece of writing requires. I do all of this while being attentive while they read their paper and making sure that before they leave they both satisfied and enlightened in some way. Show less
