As a lover of stories and history conveyed through the written word, I have always been passionate about English grammar and syntax. I studied English and Economics at the University of Minnesota and ... went on to law school there as well. Upon passing the bar exam and becoming an attorney, I worked for several of the world's most prominent law firms for over 7 years. I have the requisite expertise and experience, but teaching effectively is so much more than simply possessing the knowledge. As an undergraduate student, I worked as a Writing Tutor for a range of students from freshman in introduction courses to medical students with a particular focus on English as a second language learners. During my four years of tutoring, I gained valuable skills that I look forward to further honing. I have an extensive background in assisting in the drafting and revision process for personal statements, cover letters and resumes. Additionally, I have an expertise in research papers and have written countless papers and several long dissertations/theses for my multiple degrees. I can assist with MLA, APA, BlueBook, and several other citation methods. read more

Hello! My name is Camille, and I am a lawyer looking to dip my toe back into the most rewarding thing I've ever done -- teaching! I have tutored students in writing for over four years, including all ... levels from basic composition and paragraph formation to advanced, professional level research. I have an affinity for grammar and can assist in teaching the rules of the English language from a base level such that any student working with me will come away with not only a better grasp on the language, but a lasting, deep understanding of the mechanics of the language. I enjoy assisting students increase their writing ability, regardless of current level. I have experience working with English as a second language students and love learning languages myself. I am actively taking Spanish classes and look forward to continuing my own growth. Writing can be daunting and personally, I have struggled when given an assignment to draft anything of length whether it be a creative piece, a literary analysis, a research paper, or a legal contract, but I trust that my ability to work through these challenges makes me better able to assist students in their own journey. I am capable of teaching students of varying ages and skill levels and have experience with a wide range of abilities. Feel free to reach out regarding any additional questions. I look forward to working with you!read more
