Since my first year at Cerritos Community College and towards my last year at CSUDH, I have had fun learning about different authors and poets. There were various Genres, from mystery, romance, death,... nature (life), etc. Initially, I struggled to understand how to analyze English Lit texts. Still, various professors advised me to think about what made the story clear and what is the main argument I wanted to talk about within any Literature text. There are no right or wrong answers if I have a strong opinion about an idea; I have to make a clear outstanding argument about what I want to say and provide textual evidence to support it. That is the main goal I have learned when learning various English Lit texts, etc. The same goes for reading plays and poetry; everything has to be read carefully, and what you understand can be the main idea of a strongly developed paper, and that way, your writing skills can improve. I want to help students struggling to understand any Literature text. It can be from stories, plays, poetry, etc. I would also advise them to trust their instinct if they have an idea in mind about any text, not be afraid to use it, and find textual evidence to support their argument; that way, their paper will receive a high grade. Always proofread and make sure the citation is correct in MLA style, etc. read more

Hello everyone! My name is Adrian, and I live in North Long Beach. My hobbies and passions are listening to music of any genre and writing poems as inspiration that pops up in my mind. I also enjoy ty... ping as I have a creative mindset and critical thinking. What I am passionate about is writing and typing now by rethinking as I am creative about the way I do my writing. I am also passionate about working in Construction because we always need a backup plan in our daily life. What I like about tutoring is helping struggling students learn literature work such as poems, plays, etc. Not only that, but allow students to create an outline/ brainstorm about any ideas for their paper assignment. Then I would help them proofread them through Google Docs and write down any comments that can help them improve. I like tutoring because I struggled to write papers for any reading assignment or learn about literature in general. But then, I received help from my fellow instructors as I visited them during their Office Hours in person or Via-Zoom to discuss my ideas for a writing assignment and have their input before I gathered my textual evidence. I would help them understand the reading materials, write down essential ideas they would love to write about, and then gather textual evidence to support them. With a tutor's guidance, students can push their ideas into an argument they want to show in their papers. I am reachable for questions and advice if needed; my instructor told me, "There's no right or wrong answer within writing as long you are backing up your statement with textual evidence with a strong commentary."read more
