"Hi all! I'm Niah, a middle school ELA teacher with an extensive background in tutoring writing and reading. I graduated summa cum laude with two Bachelor's degrees, one in Criminology and the other in English Literature. I like to help students feel comfortable asking questions, while still supporting and leading them to the answer.

At my university I worked in our writing center where I presented at regional and national research conferences with this work. I also coauthored a journal article that will be published next year. My research and philosophy with tutoring have been focused on the participatory and reciprocal nature of tutoring. I love establishing long-term relationships with students, watching them grow over the course of many writing assignments (or many drafts of one medical school essay!). Working on personal statements is one of the greatest honors of my tenure as a tutor, as students trust me with their stories and we work together to craft the best essay possible.

While tutoring writing for my university's writing center I worked with students on projects ranging from lab reports, reading comprehension assignments, linguistics homework, medical school personal statements, literary essays, resumes, and so much more.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson! :)" less...
