Experience

I currently work as the Development & Communications Manager for a nonprofit organization in downtown Indianapolis. I'm interested in tutoring because I am looking for some supplemental income, but I also genuinely enjoy working with students to develop language skills and/or improve abilities in writing and communication. I have several years of tutoring experience at multiple grade and experience levels. I began tutoring as a high school student (Zionsville High School), where I tutored Spanish 1 and 2. Then throughout college, I worked in the campus "Learning Center" where I tutored my peers in entry-level and advanced Spanish, writing (including research, essays, and creative writing), and communications. To provide some background information, as a high school student, I was enrolled in AP US History (Score: 4), AP Spanish (Score: 4), AP Writing & Composition (Score: 5), and AP Literature (Score: 5). I also have experience studying for and excelling in the SAT and GRE. I've taken many courses in communication & rhetoric, spanish language & spanish literature, and public speaking. I'd be happy to elaborate on my relevant coursework with any prospective families or students. Through my 6 years of undergraduate and professional education, I have learned a lot about effective teaching and tutoring styles. I believe that I am a patient tutor and that I have a keen ability to recognize trouble-spots and areas of miscommunication.
