Experience
Tutor at Rutgers University, Plangere Writing Center (September 2011 – December 2012) • Provided students' with tailored exercises to help them become better writers • Reviewed papers for Expository Writing • Taught students how to formulate theses, write well-structured papers, and utilize proper grammar Highest SAT Reading Score: 680 Highest SAT Writing Score: 800 Highest SAT Math Score: 680 I want to be a reading/writing tutor because I just recently visited Japan for two months and realized I had a gift for explaining English grammar. I realized that just because someone is good at writing, it doesn't mean they can explain or teach the rules behind it well, but many of the Japanese people told me I was a good teacher and helped them to understand English grammar really well. I was inspired to continue tutoring in English writing/reading, and I'm excited about sharing my happy, positive nature with students as well! I'm a really patient person, and I love people, especially when working with people who really want to learn. :)
