Experience
Prior experience: I currently TA at Villanova University in Villanova, PA, where I educate undergraduates in the humanities. I have previously tutored writing and study skills at Villanova and independently. I have additional direct experience in SAT and PSAT prep as well as college applications. Test taking experience: I have consistently tested in the 90th percentile in verbal and writing portions of typical standardized tests. My test successes include the SAT Written and Verbal Sections (2007 test date), US History SAT II, PSAT Verbal and Writing, ACT Verbal, and GRE Verbal (most recent test date, 2012). I have taken coursework to prepare myself for test taking success and am eager to share my experience and strategies with you! While in high school, all humanities courses were either honors or college courses. I excel at encouraging students to strive for their best and supporting them throughout bumps along the way! I have taken literature courses from Shakespeare (college) to Post-Colonial Literature (college) to World Literature (high school) to Great Books of the Western Civilization (high school and college). I have read widely and deeply from key texts in most humanities disciplines and have read history throughout my life. I am eager to share my passion for critical, theoretical, historical, and literary reading with you!
