Match with the perfect English tutor for you in Portland

I believe that students learn best when their personal life experiences are valued and incorporated into their education. I help students improve their reading and writing skills while uncovering key literary concepts that reveal ways texts can be meaningful to them.

I enjoy teaching English concepts through storytelling and analogies. I use the Socratic method to make sessions into an engaging conversation instead of a boring lecture so I can better understand my students. I love helping students improve their writing and reading comprehension, especially when they previously found these areas challenging.

I enjoy teaching writing not just because it’s a chance to help students craft better sentences and narratives, but also because it’s an opportunity to inspire students to notice—and wrestle with— more of the world. A piece of writing resonates because of deliberate choices made by the author, and I believe feedback should empower a student to express themselves fully (and coherently).
