Experience
3 years experience as an English Tutor at Carthage College 5 on AP History Exam 3 on AP Spanish Exam 4 on AP Literature Exam 28 ACT 320+ GRE For the past three years, I have worked as a Writing Fellow (tutor) at Carthage College. As an individual interested in both teaching and the study of language, this position has been an ideal fit. Through extensive training and many hours spent with students of diverse writing levels and academic skill sets, I have learned the importance of being flexible as an educator and willing to adapt teaching methods to meet the needs of learners from many different circumstances. Whether by using props to teach correct syntax or explaining the structure of an essay in terms of the various components of a sandwich, I have learned to engage students by adapting to their specific learning styles.
