Charlottesville Tutor Profile: Religious Studies and Art or Art History major at the University of Virginia

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:12:57 +0000

Tutor Profile

Sophomore at the University of Virginia
Majoring in Religious Studies, and Art or Art History

Gender:
Female

Preferred Subjects
English (Writing), English (ESL), and History

Experience:

I've tutored middle school and high school kids in basic maths and writing skills, and spent a semester volunteering with ESL students. I scored an 800 on my SAT writing, a 740 on the reading, and a five on the AP English exam. My dad is an English professor, so I've always had a special awareness of good grammar and writing, and I do think it is important to be able to write well.
Aside from reading and writing skills, I can help with general studying skills and memorization techniques. I've had a lot of practice memorizing dates and names for my art history major, and my religion major gives me a good background in writing, reading and interpreting difficult texts, and a general knowledge of the history of Western civilization and culture.

Hobbies:

Some of my extra-academic interests include tennis, basketball, running, and leisure reading.

Charlottesville Tutor Profile: Spanish and Anthropology major at the University of Virginia

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 23:28:36 +0000

Tutor Profile

Senior at the University of Virginia with a 3.37 GPA
Majoring in Spanish, and Anthropology

Gender:
Female

Preferred Subjects
Spanish, Study Skills/Organization, Algebra, General Math, and English (Writing)

Experience:

I have tutored as a volunteer since sophomore year of high school, teaching general elementary school subjects and English. I used to tutor through the EXCEL Tutoring Program at Herndon Elementary School (in Northern Virginia) and have tutored through Madison House in Charlottesville at Cale Elementary School and with Migrant Aid.

I received a 1340 on my SATs with the old scoring (680 verbal/660 math). I took AP tests in World History (4), US History (4), English Language (5), English Literature (3), Comparative Government (4), and US Government (3).

I am currently a 4th year Spanish and Anthropology double major at UVA and am interested in tutoring again, as I have taken the past year off from tutoring after spending a semester in Valencia, Spain. I am continuing with my 9th year of Spanish. This year I am also an intern at the UVA Women's Center and am participating as a Big Sister in YWLP (Young Women Leaders Program), which is a mentoring program at UVA.

I am a great motivator and am patient when teaching kids. I know that everyone learns differently and at different paces, so I always try to plan my tutoring specific to each kid's individual needs. I am also creative and can think of fun ways to teach material so that tutoring is not just something to be dreaded, but can be a fun activity for both me and my tutoree.

Hobbies:

I am on the UVA Women's Club Volleyball team and enjoy many other sports, my other favorite besides volleyball being baseball. I also love to travel, take photographs, and read.
