Experience
Tutoring Experience: Writing tutor - one year in high school; Student teacher - one year in high school (worked in 10th grade English class) Subjects I have unofficially tutored classmates in: Ethics, Creative Writing, Public Speaking, Trigonometry, Chemistry, Physics, English Literature SAT Scores: 2220 (Writing: 800; Verbal: 690; Math: 730) AP English Literature: 5 AP Calculus One: 3 Some classes I've taken: Composition; various literature courses; Spanish Language (2 years); French Language (6 years); Russian Language (1 month in Russia); Physics; Math (Pre-Algebra through AP Calculus One); AP English Literature; AP US History; various communications courses; Journalism; Principles of Management; Public Speaking; Creative Writing; Educational Psychology; World of Work and Professional Internship I and II (learned resume writing, cover letter writing, networking skills, interview skills, etc.) Why I want to tutor: I believe every student has the potential to be an exceptional writer. Often students cannot find their own style in the constraints of classroom education, which can hinder them from reaching their full potential. I hope to help students find what makes their voice unique and learn to communicate effectively through writing. While I am most interested in tutoring students in essay writing, literature, news writing, and creative writing, I can also tutor in high school math, history, and science and can help students develop good study skills.
