Experience
-Previous experience as a Reading Tutor Assistant for 7th Graders -1860 SAT -My desire for tutoring springs from an interest in helping to benefit my community. The more access we have to education, the more informed we are about the world around us, and the better we understand each other. When I was younger, I was an introverted, passionate learner and always benefited from one-on-one time with teachers. For this reason, I recognize the value in tutoring. -Classes Taken: College-level: English courses in Composition, Language Theory, Creative Writing (Fiction, Poetry, & Screenwriting), Romantic Literature, Shakespeare, Modern Literature, and Utopian Literature; College-level Theater courses in Acting Techniques, Acting for Film, Clowning, Costume Design, Scenic Design, Dramatic Theory, Film Analysis, and Play Analysis; College-level Biology 101, Philosophy 101, Astronomy 101, Art History 101 AP: Environmental Science, Language & Rhetoric, Literature High School Level: French (3 yrs); Art (3 yrs), Photography, General Science, Math (up to Pre-Calc), American History Other: 15 yrs ballet; Haran, Modern, and Jazz dance; Elementary Violin (2 yrs) -Extensive travel through Europe (13 countries, 22 cities) -Worked as a Children's Birthday entertainer, namely performing as Disney princesses (2 yrs - Seattle, WA)

Hobbies
The passions I'm aiming to pursue professionally are Acting and Writing. I'm currently working on a screenplay and have kept a regular journal since the age of 10. I have always been interested in fashion -- especially vintage/thrifting. I keep a blog in an effort to explore & define my personal style -- and help others find theirs! My spare time is filled with additional creative pursuits. I love listening/singing to music, reading, dancing, knitting, baking, doing yoga, going for walks, photography, painting, and watching movies. It's rare that I do not get along with someone, as I am a friendly, patient, good listener. I believe that teachers should strive to be positive and encouraging at all costs. I work best with students who are interested in learning, but may lack the confidence to apply themselves.
