Private tutor in Lynchburg, VA
Education
I have my undergrad degree in English from Thomas Edison State College. I graduated with a 3.81 cumulative gpa. I graduated as valedictorian of my high school with honors. I have a good grasp of the English language and minored in linguistics. I have taken college courses that focused on creative writing, poetry, Shakespeare, critical reading, etc.
Experience
I have over 40 hours of practicum work and have tutored language partners and youth as a hobby. I also have a niece that I am excited to have the opportunity to teach and direct. I scored a 2250 on the SAT and I was a member of the National Honor Roll Society, Who's who, and I considered Mensa, but I don't want to pay the fees.
