Fun Facts
Well, for starters, I am QUITE verbose. I talk (and write) a lot. When I was in high school I had special interests In Spanish and Psychology and these interests have followed me into college. Additionally, I have been playing the violin for almost 7 years, and love it, even though I don't play it as much as I used to. I also have been told I sing well, but unless I become very comfortable around you, you probably won't hear it.
About Me
I am classified as a Sophomore at Kennesaw State, even though I am technically in my Freshman year, due to the AP exams I took in high school. My major is Psychology, largely due to the love of it I developed in high school. I've only taken online courses thus far, so l can go at my own pace, and I have to say I think that it's been the right choice for me. My end goal for my career is to be a Social Psychologist with my own private practice.
Experience
I tutored a few different clients while I was in high school, the most notable of these experiences being my Freshman year (2012), tutoring a woman in college algebra, and helping her bring her grade from one in the 50s to a high A before she took her final examination, of which she earned one of the highest marks in her class on. Although there were many incredibly long nights, sometimes working for 6 or 7 hours one day, I found it incredibly rewarding.
Approach
I have always been dubbed as the "smart kid," when it comes to school, and this is because I was homeschooled for the Preschool year, where my mother taught me subjects such as multiplication tables through 12s, spelling words with 10+ letters, writing full-blown essays, as well as long division. I have used this little jumpstart to help anyone who needed it throughout the entirety of my school career. As a tutor, the priority is to be helpful yet not to do all the work for the client.

Algebra Tutoring
I actually tutored a woman in college algebra as a Freshman in high school. I brought her grade from one in the 50s to a high A in the 90s, and she ended up earning one of the highest grades in her class on the final. I am confident in my abilities to tutor in algebra from this experience.
AP English Tutoring
I took two AP English courses in high school. I took AP Language as a Junior, and then AP Literature the following year as a senior. Taking the AP exams from these courses exempted me from the introductory composition course in college, and I believe that since this is a subject I am so strong in, I could be a good tutor in it.
AP History Tutoring
I took AP World History as a Sophomore in high school. I did well in the course, but found it to be a real challenge, and definitely can relate with the difficulty level of the course. I believe that while the course it difficult, that I learned many tricks that could help in tutoring.
Biology Tutoring
I took Honors Biology as a freshman in high school. While I didn't think the class was all that entertaining, I did pretty well in the class. There are a lot of details in Biology that I am confident that I could explain. Additionally, I have much of my notes from when I took that course that could help supplement my tutoring.
Chemistry Tutoring
I loved Chemistry in school. I took Honors Chemistry as a Sophomore and easily earned an A in the class. I found that there was a lot of memorization involved, which I did well at. I also still have some of the notes from that class when I took it that could help me in my tutoring.
Economics Tutoring
I took Economics as a senior in high school. Although it was a rather brisk course, being only 9 weeks, I did well in the course, earning an A. I believe I could tutor well in this topic because the teacher had many various methods of getting the information to us, and I believe I could pass these on.
English Tutoring
I took all advanced English courses in high school, earning an A in each one. From being in those higher level courses, I belief I have high proficiency in reading, writing, and evaluating essays. These skills could help me to tutor someone in this area.
Geography Tutoring
I took AP Human Geography as a Freshman in high school. In large part, the class was all about memorization, something that is a definite strong suit of mine. I believe that I could definitely tutor a client in this subject.
Government Tutoring
I took government as a senior in high school. Although it wasn't the most interesting of courses, I did very well in it, due to my great memory. My teacher had many different stories and ways of teaching, so I feel confident that I could tutor well in this area.
History Tutoring
I took many history courses in high school, such as Honors US History and AP World History. I did exceptionally well in both of these, earning an A. I still remember some of the stories my teachers used in explaining some of the events, and could use these stories to help tutor.
Homework Coach Tutoring
Being a student, homework is inevitable. However, with proper techniques, it can become manageable. I believe that I have some techniques that can help a potential client make their homework less stressful.

Reading Comprehension Tutoring
In taking all higher level English courses, Reading Comprehension was stressed. In my AP courses, we had to take AP multiple choice practice weekly to help to sharpen our comprehension skills. As a tutor I could draw from these experiences in helping a client with their reading comprehension.
SAT Verbal/Writing Tutoring
In high school I took both the SAT and the PSAT. The PSAT definitely helped to get a feel for what the SAT was like, and helped to familiarize me with the way that the questions were worded. The essay section was one of my stronger sections on the SAT, and I did learn that it is graded on a scale to 12, and you get 25 minutes to write it.
Science Tutoring
I took a wide variety of science classes in high school, such as Chemistry, Forensics, and Biology. I did well in all of these courses, and have a basis of knowledge that would serve me well in any tutoring setting. I am especially proficient in Chemistry above all of these.

I believe I would make such a great Spanish I tutor because having gone all the way through AP, the knowledge from Spanish I is so ingrained in me at this point.
Spanish II Tutoring
I have taken 5 years of Spanish overall and can draw from all of these years in tutoring in Spanish. There are 4 main elements to Spanish, these being Reading, Speaking, Listening, and Writing. It is the combination of these elements that makes someone proficient and more fluent in the language.

Statistics Tutoring
Having taken AP Statistics in high school, I understand the way that Statistics works. Truth be told, there is just as much writing and explaining in Statistics as there is math. What's great about it, is that there is usually a formula or a specific way to go about calculating it, you can plug any unknown or known value into the formula and get the answer out. I believe I can be a great tutor for this subject because while I am great at math, I have a great vocabulary for explanation as well.

Over the years, developing proper study skills was a must. Proper study skills help to keep yourself organized when you have multiple things to do. I do however think that there are different methods of studying that work for different individuals.
Writing Tutoring
I have always had a passion for writing! I can still remember back in elementary school, a friend and I would write these crazy 10 page stories about getting each other into trouble, and loving it. The most important part about writing is developing your own style and voice that you establish in anything you write.
Math Tutoring
Overall for math, I think I would be an excellent tutor. I've always had a fondness for math, and having taken such high level math in middle school, I could help with any level of math for a middle school student. I could also incorporate some of the elements from high school math into teaching middle school math.
Middle School Math Tutoring
In middle school, I was on the highest track for math. By the end of the 8th grade, I was learning math for kids in high school, and had earned a high school credit for that class. I found math to be easy then, and believe I could be a great tutor for middle school level math.

Having taken a wide variety of courses in Social Studies, I believe I will be a great tutor for an elementary school child. I have taken many different courses in History, Economics, Government, etc... and that all of these have attributed to my knowledge base in social studies. In using a simplistic version of what I have learned more recently, I can provide a balanced tutoring experience, and then some.
