Writing & Language Tutoring

Hello! This is my second year learning at Cascadia, but my first year as a fully fledged student. Running start is to thank for that, as well as to thank for starting me on my college career. I’m currently working towards an Associate in Integrated Studies, and from there we’ll see! I love to cook and bake, my current obsession being two very utilitarian bread recipes on repeat. I also enjoy crocheting, knitting, cross stitching, and reading. Reading is one of the most relaxing things in the world. I can spend hours and hours falling into a world someone else wrote. Being able to help people with their own writing is what drew me to becoming a writing tutor. I know that without supports like tutoring, I would not be the student I am today. Providing that for other students is going to be challenging but completely worth it.

Hi! This is my second year at Cascadia College and my first quarter as a writing tutor. I’m a pre-med major, majoring in general biology. Currently, I am studying in the field of optometry. I hope to one day become an pediatric optometrist (children's eye doctor). As a tutor, I absolutely adore supporting students in their learning journey. I find so much joy in the art of writing and I’m happy to share my knowledge with others. Some of my hobbies include: drawing, cooking/baking, photography, listening to music, watching movies/dramas, and traveling

Hello! I am a first year student at the University of Washington Seattle, pursuing a psychology degree! I did full time running start at Cascadia College during my junior and senior year of high school, so I’m very familiar with the English 101 and 102 curricula! English has always been one of my favorite subjects, and I’m incredibly passionate about bridging the gap between the humanities and STEM related fields. As someone who is wildly curious and wants to learn everything, my goal is to understand how to make writing an accessible and useful practice for students whether they are taking the class for enjoyment or to check a box for their degree. I’ve been a writing tutor for five quarters, going on my sixth, and am so excited to continue to build applicable resources for students at Cascadia!

Hello, this is my second year at Cascadia College and my first journey as an English Tutor. I am majoring in Business, and after graduating from college, I plan to continue my education with a bachelor’s in economics and further pursue a Ph.D. I hope that enhancing my skills as an English tutor will help me with my goals along the way. As an English Tutor, I love to explain things simply - especially for those who love to write and are already taking English 101 - because they need to learn more, such as how to write effectively, discuss the problems in their papers, and create value in their writing for the communities who are engaged with these topics. However, I will be happy to help anybody with anything, even if it’s not directly related to college, just to deepen knowledge and think broadly with strong critical thinking. I love to draw correlations between the stars, read books - especially about quantum leadership, business, and how to create value while writing and understanding why we write. I also enjoy listening to music, writing, and helping others finish their work perfectly.

Hi there! I am a Senior at North Creek High School in my second year at Cascadia College. I am majoring in English Literature and hope to study in the UK next fall and eventually work as a writer in the video game industry. This will be my first quarter as a writing tutor, and I look forward to both sharing my passion for writing, reading, and analysis while also learning from my peers. I want to help others find a love (or at least a confidence!) for expressing and constructing their own ideas. In my own time, I enjoy stories in many forms: books, movies, tv shows, art and, my personal favorite, video games (my favorites are Final Fantasy 7, The Last of Us, and Dragon Quest XI). I also enjoy playing the guitar, listening to music, and drawing. I look forward to meeting and working with you all over this year!

Hello! I’m a senior in high school at Inglemoor High School and a second year student at Cascadia. This is my first quarter as a writing tutor. I’m excited to work with and learn from you all! Alongside my longtime love for reading and writing, I’ve always been drawn to helping others, so there’s a lot about tutoring I’m looking forward to. I personally value approaching things with an open mind, an appreciation of the process as well as the result, and a willingness to learn: as a tutor, I hope to learn as much as I help others learn! Book-wise, I generally gravitate towards fantasy (although I’m always looking to try new genres and grow my endless TBR). I also love drawing, photography, and design- I’m actually working to pursue graphic design professionally! Some of my other interests include 2000’s crime shows and improv comedy.

I am a senior at Inglemoor High School and this is my second year of attending Cascadia as a full time running start student I am currently working towards my associates degree in Biology, however I intend to obtain a Bachelors degree in Environmental Sciences. Somethings I enjoy to do in my free time is go camping or hiking with my family, watch and play sports like football and basketball with my friends, and mess around with my pets (3 dogs and 2 cats).This will be my first time being a official tutor and I am both excited and nervous for the experience

Hi y’all! This quarter marks the very end of my associates degree, which I began pursing in 2023 after I graduated high school! This is my fourth quarter as a writing tutor, and working with both 101&102 students has been incredibly fulfilling. I plan on continuing my bachelors degree at the University of Washington (🤞🏼), double majoring in History and Gender Studies! I’m very excited about political and feminist theory, but most of all making academia an accessible place for all. My writing is often an act of excavation! Mainly creative nonfiction and prose, I make art to unearth memory, identity, and the stories that shape us. I write to document, to question, and most of all, to remember… and I’m passionate about you doing so too!! Really excited to work with you all :)

Hello! I’m Sarah Fernandes and a second year business major. I want to become a writing tutor because I love reading other people’s essays and seeing their voice and thoughts in paper form, it’s really neat! I love talking to people and learning about their interests! My special interests are Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers and TMNT. Can you tell I love animated cartoons? Some things I like are advocating for the environment, food, fashion, and my puppy Mars Bar.

Hey I’m Elika, nice to meet you all! I am a full-time Running Start student taking the Bio Pre-med track here at Cascadia. This is my first year as a writing tutor and I am really excited to try it out. I enjoy seeing new perspectives and learning about different writing styles, and I think this will be a great opportunity to meet new people and learn about their experiences. Some things I love to do in my free time are thrifting, swimming, hiking, listening to music, and singing.

Hi! I’m a running start student and senior is high school. I’ve been here for a year. I’m planning on double majoring at UW Seattle for computer engineering and english, though i might change my mind. I’m hoping to write a book and get really rich so I don’t have to choose lol. I dont’t read a lot anymore, but I used to be an avid bookworm. Writing feels like the only thing I’m naturally good at or drawn to, so that’s why I wanted this job. Outside of reading/writing, I like to listen to music, draw, bake and play video games.

Hi! This is my sixth quarter at Cascadia as a college student and I am tutoring for technical writing. Writing is one of my long time interests, and I've always loved writing stories since I was a little kid. I think writing is a very valuable skill in every field, but I know what it is like to struggle with it and with motivation, so I am happy to help students with anything. I am pursuing a career in correctional psychology, but besides psychology, I am passionate about a lot of creative things like drawing, creating music, and reading.
