"I'm Mikayla! After being homeschooled my whole life, I graduated high school early with a 4.0 GPA and studied at Liberty University for one year, finishing with a 4.0. Additionally, I have also dedicated almost a decade to studying writing. I have conducted independent research, written many essays on the topic, and made it my goal to know the discipline inside and out. Similarly, I have a great passion for the English language. In my view, there are two things vital to a good education: a firm grasp of the written word and a keen work ethic. I seek to impart both to my students.

I have over two years of experience teaching students of all ages — many of whom have been with me a year or more. My teaching method involves creating a fun atmosphere where students feel supported and excited to learn! Through concentrated instruction, targeted practice, and various written assignments, I help them hone their skills and build a lasting foundation in language arts. I'm also an expert in creative writing, having written several novels and studied storytelling extensively. For clients seeking help in this area, I give them a concrete understanding of the elements of a story and help them realize their visions through collaborative brainstorming, thoughtful feedback, and constructive critique. Using my background in English, I also work as an editor, giving clients detailed feedback on works of varying length, subject, and style. Beyond proofreading, I provide clients with content suggestions, restructuring tips, and general guidance. My goal is to empower them to feel more confident in their skills. Finally, I am available to support students struggling with various subjects or standardized tests, helping them identify their weak points and reach their goals.

As your tutor, I will work hard, be flexible, seek to meet each student's needs, and create a safe learning environment. Feel free to reach out! I'm quick to respond and will work to accommodate your schedule and specific wishes." less...
