I obtained certification in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) while attending college at the University of Delaware. After graduation, I went abroad to teach English in Japan. I have worked with all different levels of English speakers, from toddlers with limited communication skills, to high schoolers, to advanced adult speakers. The experience of living and working in a culture that was not my own, while learning to communicate in a language that was not my own, was both humbling and enlightening.
My time overseas taught me how to be sensitive to different cultures and values. Part of my job was to help students craft applications and prepare for study abroad programs, English contests, international colleges, and other multicultural undertakings. In the process, I had to balance what they wanted to say (based on Japanese values) with what would help them succeed (based on American values). It was incredibly educational.
After I returned to the states, I decided that the in-depth, one-on-one experience of helping individuals achieve their goals was what I really wanted to pursue. I worked as a research assistant at Columbia University in New York for a while, where I got to become familiar with the internal academic process and editing in academia. I'm currently working with writers for major online companies, editing and advising on marketing copy.
My purpose is to use my skills to help you create smooth, clean pieces that seamlessly integrate your experience and goals while showcasing your skills. Whether you are in the humanities or the sciences, the art of advertising yourself is the same. I look forward to helping you use your accomplishments to attain your dreams.
在特拉华大学我获得了对外汉语职业资格证。毕业之后,我去了日本教授英文。我的学生年龄跨度非常广,从牙牙学语的学龄前儿童,到高中生,也有成年人。 在一个文化完全不同的国家生活和工作, 以及学习用另外一种语言沟通是非常痛苦的,但是同时也是非常有意思的。
我的海外教学经验让我学会了尊重各种文化和价值观的多样性。我的一部分工作室是帮助同学们修改申请文书,帮助他们准备海外交流项目, 筹备英语比赛,国际学院以及其他多元文化活动。 在这个过程中,我已经逐渐摸索出如何把大和文化赋予他们的价值观和美利坚价值观相融合从而帮助他们申请成功。
在我回到美国之后,我意识到一对一帮助每个人实现他们的人生理想是我想追求的。 所以我就去了哥伦比亚大学工作了一段时间作为研究助理。在那里我对于学术文献修改更加熟悉。目前我正和一些网络作家合作,帮助他们修改文稿以及推广发行。
我的目标是运用我的技能帮助你结合一份文书可以结合你的个人经历,个人能力以及未来人生规划的同时行文流畅, 用词精巧。 不论你是理学方向还是人文方向的,推广自己的方式都是大同小异的。我希望可以你成就你的梦想。
