  BYU-Idaho

  Apr 2014 - Jul 2016

  I aid an English professor with course creation and by reaching out to students during class. I meet with students outside of class for one-on-one mentoring and guide them as they work on assignments. I grade and record scores in an online software for students to reference. My job involved reading student essays and giving feedback, teaching literature classes when necessary, conferencing with students about essays and creative work, and creating the site tasguide.wordpress.org. The latter is an easy-to-understand breakdown of essay writing intended to help students with common problems seen in student essays. My employer chose to select a smaller text book to use in his classroom, with the website as supplementary material. Show less
