I have a passion for English, especially within the realm of writing essays, and would love to help others write theirs out. I will read their essays, and will let them know which parts are good , and which parts could be better by giving them a few helpful tips. Tips such as correct spelling, grammar and in some cases, better word choices.
I can also aid them in citing sources if that need does come up by giving them a few websites that can help generate any source whether physical or online into any format that is required. I've had many experiences within the realm of being a peer reviewer, and I am able to peer review any essays or writing papers if a student does wish to have me peer review such work.
In terms of peer review, I have had quite an extensive amount of experience in peer reviewing many of my fellow classmates' written work, and in some cases, even gave them a letter grade, explaining to my instructors why they deserved that grade. This has been experienced in a couple of my history classes, and in my history writing classes that I have taken while I was attending UC-Irvine. I had this one professor for both my winter and my spring quarter classes, and every time we turned in our physical hard copies of our written essays, we would peer review them, and give them a letter grade based on various factors. These factors include how much information has been given, and the clarity of the papers that have been written and turned in. I had another history writing course, and peer reviewing for those essays were a lot more involved. We were handed a separate sheet of paper where we would take notes regarding the other classmates' paper and we'd give critiques or give credit wherever and whenever critiques or credits were to be placed. We'd also write helpful tidbits on those papers as well.
