Experience

ENGLISH tutor in Bothell with excellent teaching skills. I believe in learning and in language acquisition. I currently work part-time as a tutor for Huntington Learning Center specializing in English Reading, Writing, Grammar and ACT test preparation. I find I enjoy it: I'm good at it, and I am invested in seeing students learn. I am most interested in tapping into internal motivation so that students discover that learning improves their quality of life and become life-long learners. I am currently working on several papers for publication in academic journals relating to how to use teaching methods from English Composition Studies to enhance critical thinking as a means of improving learning and career outcomes.
