Under my tutelage, I have seen students go from a `D` to an `A` grade in humanities subjects. After years of marking papers as a Course Director and as a Teaching Assistant, I know exactly what professors are looking for when marking papers and exams. While working as a Writing Instructor for two years at York`s Writing Centre, I assisted individual students with interpreting assignments, organizing research notes, getting started at writing, proper documentation styles, and editing their own work. I also taught several group workshops at the Writing Centre and lectured to large undergraduate classrooms on the fundamentals and processes of academic essay writing and avoiding plagiarism. I am proud to be able to successfully boost student confidence by acknowledging the challenges of academic writing while also proving to students that they can succeed in their goals when provided with effective tools and support.
