Leah W.

Education

Experience
I'm mostly interested in tutoring for essay writing. The majority of the classes for my degree (nearly identical to a degree in Literature, with some supplementary classes focussing on creative aspects of writing) required mainly essays as evaluation and I am very skilled in that area. I have tutored countless students on essay writing in the past and thoroughly enjoy helping to teach people how to express their thoughts more efficiently. I've worked as a private tutor in French, as well, teaching the basics of the language.

Hobbies
I'm a carefree spirit, but am at the same time organized and neurotic about certain things. I love travel, a bit wanderlust (I've been to 7 European countries and 3 South American countries). India and SE Asia is next hopefully! I speak French and Spanish (though my Spanish is very limited.) I am an artist, grew up studying modern dance, drawing, and vocal performance, and went on to study poetry. I am working on a book of poetry right now actually. It's my little project at the moment.
