About Dr. K
I am a Doctor of English and a Literature, Rhetoric, and Composition instructor at the University level with seven years of experience. I am also TEFL/TESOL certified as of December 2020. From 2015 through the present, I have privately tutored students from middle school to college in a variety of reading and writing-intensive subjects. I get great satisfaction from helping my clients create individualized learning goals and watching them grow and succeed.
I have a Doctorate in English (PhD) from Saint Louis University. I also have a Masters from the University of Iowa and I have a BA in English and History from William Jewel College and the University of Oxford (UK). In the Spring of 2020 I was given St. Louis University's Fournier Award for Outstanding Teaching and I also completed a Certificate in University Teaching Skills through the Reinert Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning.
My subjects include: English, Writing, Reading, Literature, Proofreading, Grammar, US History, European History, World History, Time Management, Public Speaking, and College Application Help

After that point, students with a partial or full draft may request asynchronous written feedback. These sessions are ideal for the busy student who would like individualized feedback but does not have enough time for synchronous sessions.
