About Me

I am a senior English Major at the University of Pennsylvania. My specialization is in creative writing and theatre arts. I expect to graduate in May 2016. I have routinely made the Dean's list and my GPA is currently 3.7. I'm currently completing my last course as a long-distance independent study. I also scored a 2040 on my SAT's.Last year, I worked as a tutor in a classroom of high-school students at West Philadelphia. The focus of our sessions was on creating dramatic monologues to be performed at an Arts Festival. I have also worked as a teacher's assistant at Northern Virginia Community College. In this capacity, I worked with 25 students of disparate ages and backgrounds including a number of students for whom English was a second language. I worked with students both in small groups and in a one-on-one capacity to improve their writing and critical reading.

Q&A with Katherine

With all the competition in our current education system, many students have lost their love of learning. In my experience, however, students perform better when they're engaged and passionate about learning. This was certainly true for me; as a student at one of the most competitive schools in the country, retaining my love of learning has been essential to my success. My job as a tutor is to rediscover and foster that passion and help students excel. As an experienced tutor, I have a battle-tested method to help students re-engage. My tutoring style involves asking a lot of questions, as I like to gauge where each student is in the learning process and identify any real or potential roadblocks. I have experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds, including older students and students who speak English as a second-language. I like to set goals with each student based on their educational aspirations and skill-sets. I am excited about the possibility of helping you or your student succeed!
