About Shaquetta
I'm a current English major at Bucknell University with a strong academic background in literature and writing. Before college, I completed both IB and AP English courses, consistently earning top marks across all my English classes. My experiences have given me a deep understanding of complex texts, academic writing, and the skills needed to succeed in rigorous English programs. As someone who has recently navigated the same challenges students face today, I bring relatable insight and up-to-date strategies to every lesson. I focus on building confidence, improving critical thinking, and helping students write with clarity and purpose. Whether you're analyzing poetry, writing a literary essay, or preparing for exams, I offer personalized support that meets you where you are and helps you get where you want to go. Professional, patient, and passionate about storytelling and analysis, I’m here to help students not only improve their grades, but genuinely enjoy the learning process.

As a tutor, my approach is rooted in clarity, curiosity, and confidence-building. I believe that English and literature are not just about grammar rules or dense texts—they’re about finding meaning, developing voice, and thinking critically. I specialize in helping students unpack complex literature, strengthen their essay writing, and prepare for exams like the IB English assessments, AP Language & Literature, and high school coursework.
My teaching method blends active discussion with guided analysis. I encourage students to ask questions, challenge ideas, and make connections between texts and their own lives. A typical lesson starts with a quick check-in on goals or assignments, followed by a deep dive into either a passage, prompt, or writing task. We'll break things down together—line by line, argument by argument—so students leave not only with a better grade but with real understanding.
What sets me apart is that I’ve recently excelled in the same material my students are studying. I know how stressful timed essays and oral commentaries can be—and I offer strategies that actually work because I’ve used them myself. I’m relatable, patient, and passionate about making English feel less intimidating and more empowering.
My lessons are ideal for high school students (grades 9–12), especially those in IB, honors, AP, or struggling with academic writing. Whether you’re crafting a thesis, decoding Shakespeare, or just trying to improve your reading confidence, I’m here to help you succeed.
