Experience

With most of my experience in the art of writing, I specialize in tutoring students in language arts, helping them hone their reading and writing skills. As a tutor, I am passionate about helping students improve themselves. Around four years ago, I earned my B.A. in English and Philosophy at Guilford College, which is located in Greensboro, North Carolina. After graduation, I tutored high-risk students in Seattle, Washington. I later tutored and mentored in an AmeriCorps program called City Year, in which I later worked as an instructional aide. It was during this program that I realized I most wanted to have a career in education. I have also taught a filmmaking course to small groups of students, and they were able to have fun while making films and learning about narrative and film concepts. After moving back to the East Coast, I have worked as a tutor to those who need help with language arts. In my free time, I also enjoy learning and seek to both learn new skills and improve the ones I already have, so I see myself as a student as well as a tutor. As well as reading and writing, some of my other interests include playing video games, hiking, traveling, and cooking.
