During that time, I also worked as a tutor for students in elementary through high school. I primarily tutored math,...

...undergraduate school I have found to translate very easily to relevant skills for many other academic subjects. The ability to think critically, to form a coherent argument, to edit a paper, and to craft a persuasive essay are all tasks I am very familiar with and capable of helping students to excel at performing. In addition to always having been a writer, I've always been an avid reader and "book worm" as well. Thus, if...

I have extensive experience tutoring for the ACT as I taught Saturday and...

...for anyone considering a career in science. Through my service with Americorps, in which I provided 300 hours of tutoring to the schools in my community, I found that many difficulties students have in math and science subjects stem from a misunderstanding of basic mathematics. I also found this to be true while I was employed as a tutor for Ball State University's Learning Center, especially with more advanced classes. I believe that the best...
