Murray Public Service Award, summa cum laude, upon graduation from law school in recognition of my public service work. My mother was an educator who specialized in remedial reading. I have experience assisting her with teaching, and she has taught me various skills that I believe have helped to make me an effective teacher. As an undergraduate, I frequently tutored classmates in essay writing and edited papers to earn money to pay for my expenses. I also have experience helping high school students with their college admissions essays. I am interested in tutoring because I genuinely enjoy teaching, and derive tremendous satisfaction from helping someone master a subject that they once struggled with.
