...High School teaching writing and playwriting to freshmen students. I saw exciting advancements in my students' skills during my time there, and I believe it was because I made sure that my classes were always fun as well as informative.

...High School. Recently, I tutored a few students for a SAT preparation program and came to enjoy it, especially in a smaller setting where the lessons can be catered to the individual needs of the student. For an English major, I'm very data driven, concerned with the most efficient ways for anyone taking tests to improve their score, as well as their opportunities for higher education. In my spare time, I enjoy writing, hiking, movies,...

...can recognize where common errors can occur. Then I explain each question. If a student and I are covering the Writing section (grammar) of the SAT, I explain the rules and mechanics of each question. This is something I wish my past teachers did. Instead, they simply read answer keys "It's not A, B, or D because the sentences are not grammatically correct. Next question..." I take the time to explain areas of struggle and...

...Very few subjects ask for a student's opinion, but writing asks for just that. I like guiding students to figuring out the right answer, instead of telling them. Working with students and prompting them to what they need to know allows what they've learned to stick, so they can keep moving and building their understanding. Especially with younger kids, it can be easy just to tell them, but letting them do the work allows them...

...work best with charts and diagrams. Others may need to write outlines. Still others may gain a better understanding through flash cards and other learning tools. By selecting me as a tutor, you'll get more than just a bunch of basic practice problems and rote writing exercises. Tutoring should not be a "one size fits all" approach. My goal is to work with you to create a personalized learning plan that acknowledges your strengths and...
