Education

Creighton University - BA, Classical & Near Eastern Studies - Ancient Greek, German Studi

Experience

My specialties are writing, editing, English (as a subject and as a second language), literature, German language and reading/writing test prep. I can guarantee that your writing and editing skills will improve, your understanding of grammar will increase and your test scores in reading comprehension and mechanics will rise. Whether you need structured, consistent assistance with writing and reading, proofreading for individual pieces or a thesis or help toward a specific goal, I can promise you a marked improvement. In the past, I've boosted students' scores on written assignments a full letter grade. Let me help you find your unique voice in all areas of written expression! I can also teach English as a second language (ESL). I emphasize practical day-to-day skills, idiomatic usage, vocabulary and immersion experiences in my approach. I am also fluent in German (Goethe-Institut C1 certified) and can read Latin and Greek proficiently, with a B.A. in both these subjects. Students seeking help in these subjects or to learn a second language are also welcome. In high school, I earned an International Baccalaureate diploma and took many AP exams, earning 5's in most of them (American History, English Language, English Literature, German with Listening, Music Theory, Biology). I scored a high of 31 on the ACT with consistent 35-36 in the reading and writing sections. I scored 710 on SAT Reading and 760 on SAT Writing. I have published academic articles in scholarly journals & conferences.
