Improve your writing skills with a professional teacher who got her M.F.A. in Writing.

I got my Masters degree in writing from University of New Hampshire. When I was a grad student, I had helped ESL students with their papers and writing assignments. 2021-2022, I taught high school students (grade 10 and 11) Comprehensive Reading and Writing 101 at St. Mary's Medford in Zhengzhou. If you are a student who struggles to write, or needs help with writing essays or papers, I am here to help. With my knowledge and teaching experience, I will help you cultivate your writing skills and shape your own style of writing. The writing process will be easier for you! Some highlights: - A college student's paper: BEFORE B-; AFTER A- - A high school student's TOEFL Writing: BEFORE 16; AFTER 22 A comment from a student: "I used to have troubles getting started in writing and establishing the central idea. The writing process seems so much easier for me. Having the clear idea about what to achieve and how to reach my audience, I always get my writing work done efficiently."

About Guifang X.

4.9
(71)
I am certified to teach in both China and the United States. - I started teaching Mandarin Chinese online since 2017. Before I became a full time Mandarin teacher (K-8) at a school in Arizona in 2019, I taught special forces Chinese part time. - I have been teaching ESL students (mostly middle school and high school students) Reading and Writing (includes rhetorical devices) since 2009. For Mandarin Chinese class, I can help you with HSK, AAPPL and ACTFL tests. HSK is required if you are interested studying in China one day. AAPPL is a test for K-12 students, while ACTFL is a test that's required for any person who's interested working for military or national departments in the United States. For example, I took OPI Mandarin and I acquired Superior level before I could teach special forces Mandarin. For English related subjects (ESL, Reading, Writing), I can help you with academic school work and TOEFL test. From my education background, you will see I have met with the qualifications of being an English teacher! I got my B.A. in English Literature from a prestigious university in China (Henan University ranked TOP 5 in English subject the year before I attended). I acquired my teaching license in English subject after I graduated from college. In 2016, with multiple scholarships, I came to U.S.A. to pursue my further study in English. As the only nonnative English speaker, I got my M.F.A. in Creative Writing from University of New Hampshire. I got a full time teaching job in the states after I graduated.
