Maria L.
Private tutor in Ottawa, Canada
Education
I received my BA in English Honours from the University of Toronto in 2016. My specific research interests in Migration literatures inspired me to pursue graduate studies. I completed an MA in English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University, in Hamilton. I then moved to Ottawa to start a PhD at the University of Ottawa.
Experience
I have experience with academic teaching and private tutoring in various subjects including English, writing mechanics and advice, classical Latin and Greek as well as teaching English as a second language. As a graduate student, alongside my course work, I was a Teaching Assistant for two first year undergraduate English courses, which gave me a strong grasp of diversity when it comes to different learners, methods etc. As an advocate of active learning, I prompted my students to come up with their own hands-on-methods of understanding and delivering information, including multi-media presentations and group activities. I strongly believe that teaching is a creative process that allows learners to cultivate their own methods and ways of acquiring and processing knowledge.
