Experience
Kairos SAT Academy, Sept 2012-Dec 2013. Cal Prep Academy, Nov 2011-July 2012. Personal tutor since 2008. I like interacting with middle to high school aged kids because I was one not too long ago, and I feel like I can help them through some of the same struggles and challenges. I want to help them enjoy learning in the same way that I do, and I want them to expect more out of themselves, to dream bigger and believe in themselves. As an English Major, I've primarily taken English classes. As to the other subjects under my belt, I performed very well in high school in all of them. The only exception is psychology, although I do have experience tutoring in it.
