Communication Tutoring

I major in journalism, which is closely related to communication studies. I've completed all fundamental courses as well as advanced classes such as Literary Journalism in a Digital Age and The Online Newsroom Experience. I've also worked as an active reporter for The Huntington News, WGBH News, the New England Newspaper and Press Association E-Bulletin and Woodlands Online.

English Tutoring

English was my favorite subject throughout my K-12 education. I entered college as an English major and have since completed an English minor with classes like Creative Nonfiction and Technologies of Text. My knowledge of literature, reading comprehension and writing is more advanced than that of most college students.

Literature Tutoring

After studying literature in high school (primarily American and British), I entered college as an English major, where most of my coursework was based on literature and reading comprehension. I studied the fundamentals, working with novels, plays and poems. I further studied the classics with a focus on Greek literature and have since completed an English minor.

Reading Comprehension Tutoring

My reading comprehension skills are based in a combination of my English and journalism coursework. Literature requires a certain type of reading comprehension — how to identify figures of speech and patterns of grammar and writing. Journalism requires understanding how readers operate from the writer's point of view in order to make information accessible. I also performed well in my high school English classes and on standardized tests.

Study Skills Tutoring

For me as a college student, discipline in studying is key. I wasn't always disciplined: I grew up with many late nights, which were largely a result of ineffective time management. I can work with students using my personal experience to help them manage their time and organize themselves based on what strategies work best for them. I prefer calendars and day-by-day to-do lists, whereas others prefer gamified methods of organization (see habitica.com) or deadline-based calendars rather than progress-based ones.

Writing Tutoring

I'm well-versed in nearly all types of writing. With a major in journalism and minors in English, Spanish and history, not only can I write a variety of different news articles, but I can also write academic papers, cover letters and essays. What's more important, though, is that I know what goes into these types of writing, and I can teach the formulas needed to create full-fledged pieces for classes, applications and publication.

AP English Tutoring

In eleventh grade, I took AP English Language and Composition with the hardest teacher at my high school (she was also my favorite) and scored a 4 on the AP exam. In twelfth grade, I took AP English Literature and Composition and scored a 5 on the AP Exam. I also performed well in both classes while balancing a number of extracurricular activities.

AP History Tutoring

I took every AP history class offered at my high school when I attended: AP World History in tenth grade, AP US History in eleventh grade and AP European History in twelfth grade. I scored a 4, a 4 and a 5, respectively. I also performed well in all three classes.

Geography Tutoring

While I did not have room in my schedule to take AP Human Geography in high school, I excelled in pre-AP world geography in ninth grade.

SAT Verbal/Writing Tutoring

I excelled in the verbal and writing sections on both the PSAT and the SAT. Although I understand the requirements have changed since I took the exams, I'm excited to work with students to help them achieve the highest scores possible so they can stress less about college acceptances.

Spanish I Tutoring

I took three years of Spanish in high school. When I was a freshman in college, I completed the most advanced Spanish class available at my university, and the summer afterward, I studied abroad for several weeks in Spain. I've completed the Spanish minor at Northeastern University.

Arts Tutoring

I was a passionate artist when I was growing up, placing in competitions like the Western Art Show and the Visual Arts Scholastic Event in Texas. Additionally, I performed in varsity choir in high school. I also danced for 15 years (from the age of three to 18), primarily focusing on ballet and Texas drill team.

Science Tutoring

Although I'm the daughter of a former chemist, science didn't always click for me, so I understand the struggles of students today. I'm most well-versed in biology: I excelled in pre-AP biology in high school, and I took AP Biology for my fourth science. A veteran of many science fairs, I can help younger students through research methodology as well as memorization for classwork and exams.

Social Studies Tutoring

I took every AP history class offered at my high school when I attended: AP World History in tenth grade, AP US History in eleventh grade and AP European History in twelfth grade. I scored a 4, a 4 and a 5, respectively. I also performed well in all three classes. Growing up, I took a deep interest and excelled in Texas history as well.

PSAT Tutoring

I first took the PSAT in tenth grade and didn't score particularly well, except in writing. The following summer, I enrolled in an extremely helpful PSAT preparatory course. When I took the PSAT in eleventh grade, I outperformed my expectations, and I earned National Merit Scholar status. I am currently on a full-tuition scholarship at Northeastern University.

TOEFL Tutoring

I spent an aggregate 17 months working at National Geographic Learning, a textbook publishing company, on educational materials for ESL learners. There, I created and edited print and digital content for those preparing for the TOEFL. I also took practice TOEFLs in order to better understand the needs of our customers.

Adobe InDesign Tutoring

As layout and design editor of Spectrum, a literary arts magazine at Northeastern University, I used Adobe InDesign to create two magazines and a calendar. Now, I use InDesign to lay out The Huntington News, an independent, nonprofit newspaper. I've laid out the front page as well as the city, opinion and arts/entertainment sections.

HTML Tutoring

I taught myself HTML and CSS through Codecademy nearly three years ago. Since then, I've created three fully functional websites. One is a personal project, and two were created for a client of mine — a Washington-based journalist.
