About Ashunda

With over 19 years of experience teaching high school English, AP Literature, IB English, and Creative Writing, I bring both deep expertise and a warm, student-centered approach to every session. I hold advanced degrees in English and Education, and I’ve helped hundreds of students grow as readers, writers, and thinkers. Whether you're preparing for college essays, improving classroom performance, or building confidence in your voice, I create a safe, inclusive space for learning. I believe in high standards, real encouragement, and tailoring lessons to meet your unique goals. Professional, reliable, and deeply passionate about teaching—I’m here to help you succeed.

About the lesson

As a tutor, I take a personalized, student-centered approach rooted in inquiry, empathy, and high expectations. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and I adapt my methods to meet their needs, pace, and goals. Whether working on analytical essays, creative writing, or exam prep, I focus on building confidence, voice, and clarity.

Teaching Method and Techniques
I use a blend of Socratic questioning, scaffolded writing instruction, and close reading strategies. I prioritize:

Critical thinking through discussion and textual analysis

Breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps

Providing real-time feedback to develop writing and argumentation skills

Using culturally relevant materials that reflect students’ identities and interests

A session typically includes:

A brief check-in and review of previous work or feedback

A targeted mini-lesson (e.g., thesis development, tone analysis, literary devices)

A hands-on application (writing, editing, annotating, or discussing a text)

A wrap-up with reflection, next steps, and practice suggestions

What Sets Me Apart
19 years teaching high school English (AP, IB, Creative Writing, Humanities)

Strong background in supporting multilingual learners, neurodivergent students, and those with writing anxiety

Deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and culturally responsive pedagogy

I make sessions empowering and fun—building both skill and self-trust

My tutoring is ideal for:

High school students (grades 9–12)

AP Literature, IB English, and advanced English students

Students preparing college essays or personal statements

Middle schoolers ready for enrichment or support

Writers of all levels who want to grow their voice and precision

Whether you're looking to raise your grade, improve your writing, or fall in love with literature, I’m here to help guide and support your journey.
