About

Hello everyone, during these sessions we will be studying English with the hope of building a love and understanding for different types of literature. We will do this through learning to think critically as well as creating and comprehending a variety of different works. We will also learn and improve our English, while working on grammar and writing skills. This course is designed to provide a challenge, structure, but also a fun learning environment. Please don't be afraid to ask me or my cohost for any help you might need along the way. I can't wait to see you all!

Hay everyone! I’m Hailey, a visually impaired tutor here on SHW. I like to tutor cyber security, English, basic math, music, and awareness sessions about scams, being blind, and pride events. I’m part of the LGBTQ community, and had a friend die do to a romance scam. So now it’s my mission to bring awareness, help people and be me. And me is a sarcastic feminist.
