As one of the owners of LiquidFractal.org, a site dedicated to learning in its broadest sense,
I am pleased to offer my services as a professional tutor in the Arts and Humanities. Some of my credentials and expertise are listed below:
PhD, English, The University of Western Ontario (ABD)
MA, Interdisciplinary Studies, York University (English Literature, Social/Political Thought, Literary Theory/Criticism, Cultural Studies, Music & Culture)
BA, Hons. Double-Major, English/Humanities, York University, magna cum laude, Dean’s Honour Roll
Recipient, Humanities 20th Anniversary Book Prize, Arthur Haberman Award in History & Humanities
Nominated, Graduate Student Teaching Award, The University of Western Ontario
I have over five years’ experience tutoring junior high-school and high school students, guest lecturing in high school English classes, university undergraduate teaching (TA), and editing/proofreading doctoral dissertations in English, Psychology, and the Social Sciences. As someone who grades papers and exams, I know what English and Humanities instructors are looking for in that A paper.
I am also a freelance technical writer for a company supplying software documentation to Fortune 500 companies. In addition to academic and scholarly writing, I can assist in the drafting of technical manuals and guides for various corporate sectors (inquire for more information).
I have experience with course material including (but not limited to): English literature, philosophy, religious studies, psychology, critical theory and media studies.
I have extensive experience with editing in 1-on-1, small group and collaborative online environments.
I offer in-person or online, real-time tutoring to suit your needs and schedule.
I have experience with Guided Reading (1-on-1 tutoring with specific texts). If you or your child require more sustained full-time guidance with a course or course text throughout the course year, I can provide more dedicated service with advance notice (inquire for more information).
I offer unique secure online collaboration: your document (MS Office, OpenOffice, PDF or webpage) is annotated online with professional software on a private server; you can reply to notes, and I can reply to your replies and we can dialogue about key aspects of your document or essay. Receive real-time feedback and export the results at your convenience, without leaving the comfort of your home (inquire for more information).
I also offer free, private discussion forums; preserve our dialogue - and your train of thought - for writing that final version!
I offer a referral plan: refer your friends / colleagues for credit or a discount on editing services.
Please inquire for rates or more information. Get in touch during the school year or over the summer to plan ahead!
