Tutor
University Writing Center, California State University of Long Beach
-
Guided one-on-one tutoring sessions with students where we practiced brainstorming, drafting, and formatting methods to improve their writing. During these collaborative sessions, students would prepare internship and college applications which led to success in obtaining their internship or acceptance.
-
Conducted tutoring sessions online via Zoom and used whiteboard, annotations, and the chat to share edits, resource links, and comments with tutees to provide constructive feedback overcoming any technical and communication issues. These tools allowed students to learn the rules of grammar and grammar hacks they can use when they later revise and proofread.
