Experience
As a tutor, I have over over ten years of experience specializing in reading and writing, college essay writing, math, and the advanced sciences. I am a published writer and author, and I have worked for a number of publications including San Francisco Magazine, Orange County Register, and Chicago Innocence Project. Other credentials: I earned above 98 percentile on the Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing (5.5) sections on the GRE. I also received 4.0 (A levels) in notoriously complex college-level sequences like General Biology, Microbiology, Physics, Calculus, and Anatomy and Physiology. Additionally, I have experience working with students who have learning disabilities and dyslexia, and I thoroughly enjoy watching my students learn and connect ideas together. I also love helping my students organize, as well as coach in time management. I will thoroughly help my students synthesize complex ideas, as well as adapt to multiple learning methodologies. -Specialist in essay writing, editing, history & sciences -Years of teaching experience and academic curriculum creation with the America Reads in Chicago -10 years of tutoring experience including those with learning disorders -AP Honors Scholar, High School Valedictorian -Dean's List, Northwestern University's Legal Studies Honors, work with the Innocence Project in Chicago -Published writer with the Orange County Register -Joy Darrow Award by the Association for Women Journalist's--Chicago 2008 Winner -Scored above the 98 percentile on the GRE - AACEF Scholar (Recognition of outstanding academic/community involvement in Orange County by the Cultural Education Foundation) - Newport Harbor Panhellenic Achievement of the Year Award, (Presented to one female senior for outstanding scholastic / community involvement) I am passionate about teaching and growth.
