English PhD Candidate Teaches Reading Comprehension and Writing
I am an English Literature PhD candidate who specializes in teaching students of all ages and levels the value and practice of clear and persuasive writing. If you or your students work with me, we will focus on both small-scale issues like grammar, mechanics, and sentence structure, and on larger issues like crafting a strong thesis statement, developing paragraphs, and focusing your argument throughout your paper. More importantly, we will learn how those smaller details and larger concepts…
Testimonials
Elyse G. from College Park, MD Rachel was very helpful tutoring my son and teaching him the skills to support him in writing his English paper. She took her time to review the paper and help him to understand the concepts in writing a good essay. Thank you for your help.
Russ S. from Arlington, VA We've been very fortunate to have Rachel as our son's Tutor for Writing and Grammar. She has extensive knowledge combined with the skill and patience needed to make our son want to improve.
Jingyi Z. from Washington, DC Rachel is one of the greatest tutors I have ever had. When we met the first time, she listened carefully to my needs and took thorough notes so that she could plan for the classes. She is creative and passionate in teaching too. We have had quite a few sessions so far, she does not stick to only one method. Sometimes, we will read together, sometimes we review my summary, and sometimes,we watch movie together then discuss what is going on in the movie and learn new words. The lessons are never boring. I have to admit that I am not a very punctual student due to my work. While on the other hand, Rachel is very punctual all the time, even if she commutes between her school and home by metro for long distance! You can clearly feel that she cares your progress, and enjoys teaching and sharing with you her knowledge on literature. I am so grateful for having her teach me and help me with my English!
