Fun Facts

My passion aligns very well with my tutoring specialties. I love English literature. I am a complete bookworm, and my favorites are classics,science fiction, and poetry. I can frequently be found at bookstores and libraries, reading all I can. I am the only child of my two parents, so I have been fortunate enough to travel to many parts of the world, including China, Germany, France, Spain, Egypt,England, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and many more.

About Me

I am a new graduate student at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) pursuing a Master of Arts in English. I graduated from UTSA in Summer 2015 Summa Cum Laude with a 3.91 GPA and a 4.0 GPA in my discipline. I received Presidential status in the National Society for Leadership and Success, was elected secretary for the honor society, Delta Alpha Pi, and I am currently vice-president/president-elect of the same chapter. Ultimately, I plan to be a professor.

Experience

I have tutored my classmates in various subjects since I was in middle school. In college, I mostly tutored them informally. I love helping other students understand the subjects they have difficulty learning. Seeing a student succeed with my help is nothing short of a joy. I am patient with students, and I have been a Sunday School teacher for 3rd grade at Trinity Baptist Church for two years.

Approach

I recognize that everyone learns in different ways, so I work to find out the best way for each student to learn. If one explanation does not click with them, then I try another until we reach mutual understanding. I try to incorporate study skills as well, so each student is prepared for future classes. I have a way of explaining concepts that students often tell me is clarifying and easy to understand without being overly simplistic.

My degree is in English, so this is my specialty. This is also the degree I am working toward as a graduate student. I have never made any grade below an A in every college English course.

Literature Tutoring

Literature is an extension of English, but it is the area I am most passionate about in my field. Some of the courses I have taken in literature include Women in Literature, American Literature 1945-Present, The American Novel, Shakespeare: The Early Plays, and various Creative Writing courses (all scored A to A+).

Not only did I finish my degree in English, but I received institutional honors and graduated with a 4.0 in my major. I am well versed in what constitutes good writing, given the scores my writing has received. I can help with all levels, from beginner to advanced.

AP English Tutoring

My degree is in English, so this is my specialty. This is also the degree I am working toward as a graduate student.

Reading Comprehension Tutoring

I am an avid reader, but reading is a skill, especially in more difficult texts. I can help students learn to decipher complex texts, asd that was an expectation of me as an undergraduate English student.

Elementary Math Tutoring

In high school, I took math classes all four years, including algebra and geometry. I earned an A in all of these courses. In college, I took college level algebra and received an A as well. I have a firm understanding of the foundations of math, which is vital to understanding math at an elementary level.
