Experience
My exciting academic career was greatly enhanced when I was chosen, at the age of 14, to participate in an enrichment program at the University of Chicago, the Collegiate Scholars Program. For the final three years of my high school education, I studied with some of the world's best professors and graduate students in the social sciences, humanities, and sciences. That was a huge deal, and compelled me to continue on to college and continued success in my academic career. I attended the University of Chicago, where I earned my bachelor's degree, and then became an instructor in the College Countdown program, where I guided 40 students through applying for college. This included working individually with students on drafting, analyzing, and editing personal statements, as well as finding potential scholarships and researching different colleges. This is what inspired me to be a tutor. I am available to tutor in a wide variety of subjects, including English and French at all levels, and a number of classes in the humanities, such as history, and writing skills. I've also had success helping students study for important standardized tests, such as the ACT, SAT, and more. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling, reading, and baking.
