Experience
I was an AP scholar with distinction and scored a 2310 the first and only time I took the SAT. I helped both of my siblings through the college application process, from SAT prep to essay writing, and I've edited the essays of friends and strangers for years. I want to be a tutor because I love seeing people improve, and I believe I have the right combination of interpersonal skills, intellectual capabilities and patience to foster that improvement. I enjoy working with kids of all ages, up to and including MY age, and think that everybody has something to offer in the way of writing - it's my job to bring that something out. As a journalism major in the most competitive journalism program in the country, I've learned a lot about writing, of course, but also about the topics I write on - and I write on a wide range of topics, from homelessness to music to bioethics. I've had to think quickly and incorporate scientific/mathematical data into my stories, as well as analyze the value of less structured evidence. I've written stories for Popular Science, San Francisco Weekly and various Chicago-area publications like TimeOut Chicago. I've been a senior editor at my school's online journalism outlet for two years.
