As a graduate teaching assistant, I spent three semesters working in the Writing Resource Center, working with American students and English language learners one-on-one on improving their essays and writing skills. In doing so, I read and analyzed complex information across academic and technological disciplines; I then worked with students to improve their communication of that information and to help students improve their writing overall.In addition, I taught semester-long one-on-one tutorials in writing, reading, and study skills for students facing challenges in these particular areas. I utilized active listening to help students understand their challenges and their goals; then, I developed and implemented short- and long-term strategies for students to reach those goals. For three semesters, I tutored multilingual students in spoken English and taught a seminar on spoken English for law students. I gained knowledge of the motivations that bring multilingual students to American universities and understanding of the challenges they face. I developed strategies for students to improve their English in tutoring and during their free time, as well as recommending other on-campus resources to students when appropriate.I also gained experience in course/curriculum development, syllabus writing, classroom management, group instruction, presentations, and devising lesson plans as a creative writing instructor. Furthermore, I gained knowledge of LMS such as Blackboard and utilizing technological resources inside and outside of the classroom.
