Services and About Me
Services
I can help college students or adult learners with their academic/essay writing. I can help with citations, persuasive writing, writing in third person, APA format, research, and formulating a thesis statement. I can help with organization, structure, style, format, and implementing an outline and other writing prompts, such as annotated bibliographies or literature reviews. I also focus on helping students develop critical thinking skills or analytical skills.
In addition, I can help K-12 students with reading. I make sure the students fluency is at an accurate, expressive, and lengthy rate. In addition, I use phonics for reading. I get my curriculum for K-12 students from Teachers Pay Teachers website. I also offer additional services for K-12 students, such as grammar, reading comprehension, writing, spelling, punctuation, and handwriting.
