Missy R.

Private tutor in Hermosa Beach, CA

Education

I'm a graduate student at the University of Southern California in the fourth year of my PhD. program. I graduated summa cum laude from Lewis & Clark College in 2017 with a double major in French and English Literature. I am a college lecturer at USC, where I have taught freshman composition and several literature surveys.

Experience

I am available online/remotely and in Los Angeles and South Bay LA. I can help revise papers and can tutor students of all ages in writing, editing, and reading skills. I also have experience teaching written and spoken French at the university level. Additionally, I am available to tutor students in standardized test prep for the verbal/written portions of the GRE, GRE Subject Test in Literature, and SAT/ACT. I have extensive experience in education and tutoring. I worked at a French immersion school between college and graduate school. I currently teach in USC's Writing Program, working with first-year and transfer students on critical writing skills.
