Hopefully, my experience tutoring will help me in my career as a CPA.

As a result, I am amazed at the power of language and communication, and I enjoy helping others cultivate the skills to become better communicators and writers. I used to be an English Education major because I wanted to go on to teach gender literature or writing intensive classes at a university.

During my senior year of high school I was a teachers assistant for sophomore English classes, and I greatly enjoyed working on writing skills with other students. I hope to have more positive and enlightening tutoring experiences this coming semester.
Shannon--Writing Tutor
I am a senior at UW-Whitewater. I will be graduating in May with a major in professional writing and book publishing and a minor in marketing. I have taken several writing and editing classes here at UW-Whitewater and last fall I did an internship with a publishing company in London, England. I love working with people to turn their ideas into a piece of writing they can be proud of. I want to use the writing skills I have accumulated over the last three years as a student at Whitewater to help other students to achieve their own goals.
Phil--Writing Tutor
With graduation inching closer, Im looking to spend my senior year in college validating the skills Ive accrued since beginning college three years ago. Tutoring will be a new experience for me. I came to UW-Whitewater with the intention of earning an education degree. Plans changed, and by the end of my freshman year I was an English major with a writing emphasis. I decided then to follow what I felt was my passion, that being writing. Freshman year, I was content to grow as a writer without considering where I would take it in terms of a career in the future. Today, Im looking to gain skills that will make me a better mentor and coworker, and ultimately help me gain a better understanding of what can help me improve my writing while I work with others in their writing.
Jordan--Writing Tutor
I have been tutoring in the Writing Center since February 09. As an English education student, I have found that my position prepares me for my future career in teaching. Working one-on-one with students in this setting has been a rewarding experience for many reasons: I gained experience assisting English-as-second-language students; I discovered new techniques in teaching; and Ive been impressed with the original thoughts and ideas tutees have shared with me. During spare time over the past year I have volunteered at the Lake Geneva school district, working primarily with fourth- and fifth-grade students.
