English Tutoring

I've edited many papers for students in English. Some students were learning English-as-a-second-language, which provided an extra challenge with the same results: A-quality papers. Relevant courses include creative writing (A-), journalism (A), intro to writing (B), intermediate writing (B+), and folklore (A)

Psychology Tutoring

Passed introduction to psychology with a B and social psychology with an A-. Was able to tutor students majoring in psychology as they obtained their degrees in psychology. Dropped psychology in high school after the first semester, transferring to be a Teacher Aide for my debate teacher; where I was able to tutor students with debate, English, and psychology homework. The first semester's grade in psychology was a B-, the grades as a teacher aide were consistently in the A-range.

Sociology Tutoring

This is my major. Exact GPA pending, GPA of major approximated at 3.6. Relevant sociology courses I've taken include American Problems, Introduction to Sociology, Social Problems, Gender Studies, and Race & Ethnicity; each passed with an A. I was able to tutor students in each of these classes except for the introductory class.

Algebra Tutoring

In college, I would often help other students with their Algebra on the whiteboard during class. I received a B in Algebra, which was a required class to major in sociology.

History Tutoring

There were a few longer-term assignments I received to substitute for history. On more than one occasion, I saw students staying in class longer for what may have been the first time to do one thing: Ask questions. Related classes to history taken in college include Americanization and Anthropology, obtaining an A- in each.

Math Tutoring

I have been able to teach math successfully for three years. In high school, I took an applied mathematics class, obtaining a B.

Reading Comprehension Tutoring

I've been comprehending what I read at a college level since as late as 11th grade, when I completed a 2-week course with Sun County Forensics' Debate Camp over the summer to improve my debating skills. By twelfth grade, I had enrolled concurrently for college credit in studying Humanities at the college level, abtaining a B for the course.

Writing Tutoring

I specialize in creative writing with a concrete foundation for grammatical rules. In high school, I was able to take creative writing twice, obtaining a B and an A. Aside from repeatedly over-filling my English credits with similar grades (including courses such as journalism, folklore, and intermediate writing) I enjoy writing in my spare time, with projects from essays to fiction.

Middle School Math Tutoring

In general, this is where I was able to help several students with special needs. One student I was tutoring in particular needed a lot of help in this area. As a result of my tutoring, he was able to bring the grade from failing to a C+. Relevant college courses include Algebra and Statistics, obtaining a B and B-, respectively.

Study Skills Tutoring

Religion Tutoring

As long as we're discussing basic subject matter, I took four years of LDS seminary in high school, graduating their program. My grades were never below a C. I also studied some LDS doctrine in college through Institute programs while maintaining a large interest in religion as I studied sociology. American Preparatory Academy required that we teach basic ideas about Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism for a couple years that I was there; the lessons were consistently successful.

Social Studies Tutoring

My major, sociology, sometimes gets grouped here. In college, I was able to study the Americanization process, receiving an A- for the course. I've also studied Social Psychology at the college level, receiving a B+ for the course. At American Preparatory Academy, I was consulted often during social studies by other teachers wanting to know more on behalf of a student or for themselves.
