University Instructor and High School English teacher available for all tutoring and professional writing support needs.

I know Rebecca from graduate school, where we both studied for a Ph.D. She was in the cohort ahead of me, so aside from being a great friend, she also showed me her teaching role, both as I observed her, and through helping me prepare for Quals.

Rebecca takes her role as a teacher seriously. She is patient, empathic, intelligent, and supportive. She has great skill in helping others through any anxiety by sharing her calmness and explaining concepts clearly and succinctly.

When she helped prepare me for my Qualifying exam, (having been through it herself), she came up with insightful questions and helped me learn how to navigate my responses. Rather than focusing just on the mechanical language of a response, she encouraged strategic thought and response that would help me to demonstrate my research and knowledge. Furthermore, she helped me demonstrate this with language that would communicate clearly, yet with intelligence.

This speaks to her skill as an English professor, not just focusing on the “correctness” of grammar, but true communication that allows the student to demonstrate and share what they know in such a way that communication is clear.

I highly recommend her as a tutor for anyone who needs help. She has varied life and professional experience, allowing her to relate to and help students from all walks of life.

Rebecca has for nearly 20 years helped me with my professional writing needs. She has advised on my resume composition and helped with cover letter tailoring. I know I have my current job thanks to her cover letter advice.
