...At Syracuse, I worked with a program called Literacy Corps, tutoring students from all over the city. After graduating, I entered an AmeriCorps program in Pennsylvania, teaching full time for a year. I feel that having tutored for so long and being so recently out of school gives me an advantage in helping students.

...for each of my students. I am a recent graduate from the University of Maryland and am working in the interim between no and when my graduate program starts in the fall.

I...
