About Marissa
I am a recent graduate from Dalhousie University's Master of Arts in English program. I worked as a Teaching Assistant for 2 years, teaching tutorials to undergraduate students, helping professors with lesson plans and syllabi, and marking many, many essays. I have a background in science and education. I won uOttawa's Christa Zeller-Thomas Excellence in English Literature Prize as an undergraduate student.
I like teaching and I like engaging with students. In everything I do, I end up teaching it! I have been a dance teacher, swimming instructor, camp counsellor, tree planting crew lead, and more.
I now work as a freelance editor, proofreader, writer, and tutor. I will soon return to school for a PhD in English Literature.

I am a flexible and supportive resource for your writing and reading needs! Have an essay deadline coming up? Want guidance, suggestions, or second opinions? Want general help with academic English? I'm here for you!
My priorities are:
1. To foster a safe and comfortable space for you to ask questions.
2. To provide you with as much academic support and information as possible.
3. To help you thrive in your writing no matter your major, program, profession, fluency in English, or writing level.
My lessons are flexible! Present me with written work for suggestions and guiding feedback. Come to me with ideas and we can go over essay structure and research. Show up with an assignment outline and we can figure out your first steps!
My tutoring services are for anyone looking for guidance with essay writing and academic language. Academic essays are unavoidable no matter your major or program focus. I can help you tick those boxes and become a confident writer with concrete and lasting essay know-how.

Marissa has helped me tons! I’m so lucky to have her as a mentor and tutor. You couldn’t ask for anyone better!
Marissa is one of the kindest, most patient and caring people I have ever met. She is a great teacher because she genuinely cares about her students, and gets so excited to see them progress and succeed, helping them every step of the way with thoughtful feedback and helpful advice.
Marissa and I did our Master’s degree in English Literature together, so I had the pleasure of seeing her shine as both a student and a teacher. I am consistently inspired by her. Marissa is not only a brillant scholar but also an unerringly generous one. Her love for learning is evident in everything she does, and she shares that love with her students and classmates alike. She is thoughtful, creative, hardworking, and passionate, and she goes out of her way to uplift others on their academic (and personal) journeys. She has my deepest admiration and my highest recommendation.
I would highly recommend Marissa as an English teacher! She has experience teaching and marking a number of different university-level English tutorials that all focus on developing students' writing, close-reading, analysis, and research. Her feedback is generous and helpful, and she is an approachable person with excellent communication skills. Marissa can easily explain difficult concepts and understand where students are struggling in order to offer specific advice. She is a wonderful teacher!
