About Carla
I have a degree in Chemical Engineering (Materials) from Florida State University and a master's degree in Polymer Science from Free University Berlin, plus a bachelor's in Creative Writing (Hons) from the University of Wollongong, where I am currently undergoing work toward a PhD. All of those sound like lofty, disparate degrees, but all they mean is that I've had to do any possible kind of writing you're currently dealing with, and survived to tell the tale. I have experience tutoring both at the high school level and also at the university level, which has taught me patience and supportiveness. I get the necessity of understanding the theory and the rules, but focus primarily on practical solutions. I don't beat around the bush; I let my students come to me with the areas in which they think they are weakest, and we work hard at them until you get the hang of it all. Come to me with your questions, and we'll figure them out together! With my background in such wide disciplines and my experience tutoring in all of them, I have learned that teaching others something you are passionate about is the ultimate positive satisfaction. I love to make learning not just useful, but fun.

I am a developmental editor in publishing, and also worked as a beta reader and proofreader for ten years. From this work, I have learned to adapt to people's particular styles of communication. This is something I bring to my tutoring, always looking to help high school students in the areas where they are struggling. When it comes to writing, I have an expert grasp of structure, grammar, voice and authorial style. I prefer to let students come to me with questions rather than waste their time repeating lessons they already dominate. Whether it's an essay, a report or a creative piece, you come to me with the areas you feel you need help with, and I will give you practical advice - not just strict, inflexible rules - to help you strengthen those weaker aspects of your learning experience. Practice makes perfect, and it is doubly important in writing, as it infuses all aspects of our life.
