Rebecca U.
Private tutor in Santa Barbara, CA
Education
Junior English Major at University of California, Santa Barbara, GPA: 3.6
Experience
I have not done any previous tutoring but I have worked as a camp counselor for 4 summers, so I have experience working with kids from ages 5 to 15. I am an excellent writer, I earned a 12 (highest score) on the SAT writing section, and almost always receive As on my college papers. I am also a strong reader, and can help students with close reading and analyzing of texts. I never had a tutor when I was younger, but I think I would have benefited from one, and that is why I want to be a tutor. I am a very organized and driven student, I want to attend law school after college, and can help motivate a student to succeed. I think English subjects, especially reading and writing, offer some of the most important skills for students to learn. I have taken a wide range of English courses from basic writing and composition classes to Medieval literature, Modern American and British literature, Environmental literature, Poetry,and Shakespeare. I love kids of all ages and I would really enjoy helping a young student succeed in their English courses.
