Private tutor in Santa Cruz, CA

Education

University of California Santa Cruz B.S. in Literature with a concentration in Pre and Early Modern studies (medieval and renaissance literature). My GPA is a 3.72. I am a senior who is graduating receiving my degree on June 12th, 2016

Experience

"Junior Fellow": I taught a freshman writing course at UCSC with guidance from the staff of Stevenson college. I taught for a whole quarter, designed the syllabus, writing assignments, assisted writing, and assigned final grades for papers and the class as a whole. SAT- 1950 ACT- 29 (writing/reading comprehension 31) AP Literature- 4 AP English- 4 AP Psychology- 4 I think that writing and the ability to effectively communicate is important for every student! I would love to help others acquire the skills that have helped me to succeed. The ability to understand writing and especially writing about critical analysis is very specific and requires focus and individual help that many students are not able to receive in school alone.

Hobbies

I am very passionate about books and reading, but I also like to get outside and explore nature! I practice and teach yoga in my spare time when I am not at school or working at Trader Joe's. I am easy going and easy to get along with, but I am also committed to trying my hardest to succeed and to help other succeed.
