Experience
In high school I founded the MHS Writing Center; a writing community centered on peer tutoring. I have experience tutoring children from a variety of ages (6-12 years old) in English topics such as reading, creative writing, essay writing, test prep, and English as a foreign language. I have also been working as a freelance editor for academic writing in English at the Bachelor and Masters level since the completion of my Bachelor studies. I am currently employed as an English teacher with an English Company, teaching English in a fun and creative way in a variety of Kindergartens and Volksschule throughout Vienna. I enjoy working with kids and improving their knowledge in ways that cater specifically to their interests and personality. I work very hard to establish a positive relationship with my students and using that to engage them with material that challenges and excites them.
