Hi, my name is Mia and I'm an

0:03

incoming Junior majoring in Psychology. And I'm also a

0:07

lesson pal tutor. I will primarily be

0:09

tutoring middle school and high school students who are interested in

0:13

improving their writing and this could be anything from

0:16

outlining essay from scratch as

0:19

well as proofreading and editing an essay

0:21

and assisting with writing related questions

0:24

on college applications such as the infamous Common

0:28

App essay, as a student who fairly recently

0:31

went through this process and was accepted

0:34

into a private university. I know how

0:36

stressful applying to colleges can be and I'm here

0:39

to help.

0:40

For students who are interested in scheduling several lessons.

0:44

I will set up a casual consultation so

0:47

I can see where you're writing level is at currently

0:50

what you want to improve and what goals you

0:53

hope to achieve by the last lesson this may

0:56

involve having you send me some writing samples

0:58

for me to look over if it's okay with you.

1:01

For students who are looking for someone to proofread and

1:05

edit something. This will most likely not require a consultation

1:08

unless you request it.

1:09

In general the structure of my tutoring

1:12

sessions will be student-centered. So that means I'll mainly

1:16

rely on you to tell me what you want to get out of

1:18

each session and I may ask that you provide information

1:22

about what an assignment requires if there's

1:25

a rubric Etc. If you

1:28

would like me to edit a piece of writing the easiest

1:30

way would be to share a document with me through Google Drive so I

1:33

can prove you to provide feedback live. I'm happy

1:37

to help with structuring an essay and making grammar and

1:40

spelling corrections, but I still want to ensure that

1:43

a paper is written in your voice. Therefore. I

1:46

cannot write words for you, but I can use teaching

1:48

materials such as giving you a list of transition words

1:52

or writing comments about elements. You might

1:54

consider removing or adding to your paper.

1:57

Above all my job is to facilitate the Improvement

2:00

of my students writing skills without simply telling them what

2:03

to write. So that being said, I'm super excited to

2:06

get to know my students and help them develop a skill that will surely

2:10

be helpful to them for the rest of their careers.
