Experience
I hope to achieve my master's degree for Teaching. Now, I attend Tufts University for Secondary Education in English. I already earned a degree in Urban Studies from Barnard College. I specialized in Music and Education.During the summers throughout college, I worked with students in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I helped them learn writing skills, become better readers, and learn history. After I graduated, I spent a short time working for a tutoring center. It specialized in phonics, visualization, spelling, and reading. From there, I traveled to Spain and worked at a Madrid school. I was the assistant for Language and Cultural studies.I tutor in a variety of subjects, ranging from Geography and Test Prep to Music Theory and European History. I particularly enjoy Essay Writing and Literature, so I tutor in those subjects as often as I can. I also realize the importance of tests like the SAT, so I often focus on teaching test-taking strategies and preparing students for the work ahead. I help students develop their own study strategies (some that work for regular classroom work, and others that are used during test times).My free time is spent reading. I also play the piano and spend as much time as possible with friends.
