Meghan B.
Private tutor in Tempe, AZ
Education
I earned a B.A. in English and minor in German from the University of Dallas, a rigorous liberal arts university, in 2014. I graduated with a 3.7 overall GPA. My English B.A. program covered classical Western literary tradition. I studied Homer, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pope, Austen, Wordsworth, Hardy, and Joyce, among others. I received commendations from my professors for my insightful literary analysis and excellent writing skills.
Experience
I am a professional freelance writer and editor who offers English tutoring on the side. I love working with students on their reading and writing skills, since I consider these skills so vital to their academic and professional futures. I began my career as an English and German tutor for students from preschool to college age - both private sessions and classes at a tutoring center. I worked as a live-in English teacher for a family in Munich, Germany for a year and earned my TESOL/TEFL certification in 2015. I also worked at an independent publishing house after graduation from college, reading and reviewing book manuscripts. Tutoring combines my passion for the English language and the joy I find in teaching one-on-one. I am committed to providing affordable, high-quality, caring service to families. I look forward to talking with you to find out whether we would be a good fit to ensure your child's success in English class!

Hobbies
I love traveling, writing short stories, and reading (my absolute favorite era of literature is 19th-century English). I moved to Phoenix, Arizona two years ago and since then have had the time of my life exploring this beautiful state. The independence and freedom of working as a freelancer has brought me a lot of joy.
