Hi! I'm Skylar! I'm a 4.0 GPA student at UC San Diego studying Sociology with a concentration in communications and culture. Afterwards, I'll be continuing my schooling to get my Master's and a PhD to become a Sociology professor — I'm very passionate about teaching! I have taken a wide variety of English and Sociology courses. For my English students, I can strengthen your thesis writing abilities, citation incorporation (MLA, APA, and Chicago), paragraph structure, outline methods, effective brainstorming, and more. I look forward to working with you!
