I have had over 6 years of writing and editing experience, at both the high school and collegiate levels. As a philosophy major with a minor in sociology, I spend much of my time writing analytical an... d argumentative essays. I enjoy creative writing, poetry writing, and journaling in my free time. One thing that sets me apart from other tutors is my ability to help students with their writing in multiple academic areas. I take pride in taking an interdisciplinary approach to learning. I have worked as a Virginia Junior Academy of Science mentor where I edited science fair papers and presentations at the local, state, national, and international levels. I aided over 50 students in communicating complex topics to the general public. I was the Opinion and Features Editor and Social Media Director for the award-winning, Crossed Sabres newspaper for all four years of high school. I have written and edited over 200 articles for publication. As a current Volunteer Notetaker for Virginia Tech's Services for Students with Disabilities office, I regularly write up detailed lecture summaries in order to aid my peers in understanding class material. I am dedicated to ensuring that the note recipients are satisfied and are able to grasp even the most complex topics. read more

Hi there! My name is Holland and I'm a junior in the philosophy major at Virginia Tech. I have a passion for helping others improve their English/writing skills. My favorite part of tutoring is seei... ng the lightbulb go off in people's heads when they finally figure out that missing piece they've been searching for. There really is no greater feeling! I totally get that everyone has different strengths and learning styles. I am dedicated to working with you to make our sessions as beneficial as possible. I want to make our time together effective yet enjoyable. Outside of tutoring, I love to cook and try new foods, hike with friends, and go thrifting. I look forward to working with you!read more
