With over three years of tutoring experience, I have worked with students ranging from late elementary school to the college level. I recently graduated summa cum laude from California Polytechnic Sta... te University with a degree in English and a TESOL certificate. Additionally, I pursued double minors in Linguistics and Spanish. My strong foundation and deep understanding of rhetoric enables me to assist in various subjects that involve reading and writing skills. Having obtained my TESOL certificate, I am also equipped to help any English language learners and multilingual students with their academic writing. While working as a writing tutor at my university, I gained valuable insights into writing pedagogy at the high school and college levels. Additionally, I consistantly received A's and high scores on my essays in college. read more

Hello! My name is Stephanie. I am originally from the United States, and I was raised in both Minnesota and California. I am currently residing in Argentina because I absolutely love learning and spea... king other languages. To put it simply: I geek out for grammar. I have always been involved in peer-tutoring programs throughout my K-12 experience, but I formally began freelance tutoring three years ago during the pandemic. Additionally, I loved working at my university's writing center. There, I got to read and learn about people's amazing experiences and passions through helping edit their papers and providing them life long communication skills. Above all else, I have always seen language and communication as an art. All works are an amalgamation of deliberate decisions that overall contribute to a purposeful message. I am here to guide you in ways where you can be more conscious of your writing choices and the effects they may have. On the other hand, while reading, I hope to get you asking deeper questions about a text. These critical thinking and rhetorical skills will not only help you in the classroom but beyond when you find you need to advocate for a raise or make yourself look good in a job interview. One quote that guides my teaching philosophy comes from the World Englishes scholar and linguist Henry Widdowson: "You are proficient in a language to the extent that you make it your possession, bend it to your will, assert yourself through it rather than simply submit to dictates of its form” (1994). I can't wait to meet you and create a plan that meets your learning goals. Message me if you have any questions 🤗read more
