About Me
I am a recent college graduate from The City College of New York (CUNY). I majored in Psychology and minored in Legal Studies. Many of my electives consisted of advanced writing courses due to my love of literature. During my four years as an undergraduate, I was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) and was on the Dean's List since beginning my second semester until graduation. My cumulative GPA is a 3.80 and I hope to attend law school in the Fall of 2018.
Experience
Throughout my college career I was heavily active in English, Writing, and Literature activities. I also held a job as a note-taker within the schools' Disability Office, in which I would attend class with disabled students and make sure all their class notes were written/typed for their personal use. Being able to help students with disabilities was wonderful. In addition, I have held tutoring jobs for all ages (college, high school, middle school, and elementary). Teaching is very fulfilling.
Approach
Growing up I struggled to learn as fast as other students. I had difficulties with reading comprehension, verbal skills, and writing skills. Due to this, I had to work extremely hard to keep up and meet academic standards. In doing this, I have become extremely proficient in all these areas and truly enjoy the process of teaching others, including those who require extra time learning and processing information. I go at the pace of each individual and make sure they understand the work at hand.
