Tutoring Expertise and Passion 

My name is Justin N. The pronouns I prefer to use are he/him/his. I am studying Accounting and Finance. This is my second year at Marquette. The writers I like are Fredrik Backman, Mark Twain, and Đàm Hà Phú. As a tutor I like to work on informative and persuasive writing but I am happy to work on any type of paper and project.

Statement of Philosophy

Writing, in my belief, is difficult and complicated for most people. Unlike mathematics or similar subjects which have clear answers for specific problems, the task of writing may lead to different outcomes that are derived from different processes. For that reason, we all struggle with expressing our thinking into words quite often in our lives. And that is why I became a tutor: to facilitate the writing process so that people can become better writers over time, thus can produce better writing. For that to happen, understanding and respect between tutors and writers are extremely important in order to produce effective tutoring experience. As a student with multicultural background myself, I wish to make everyone at Marquette feel welcome coming into the Ott, regardless of differences in majors, languages, cultures, ideologies, etc. I will address my thoughts and advice on your writing, but I would always make sure that you will be listened to and respected. In this community, we are here for you, and we all are one!
