Bryce P. - Tutor in Oak Creek, WI (53154)

I was an NCAA Division I athlete in swimming at the University of Wyoming where I also received a BA in English. While at Wyoming, I was an academic all-conference selection all four years. In 2006, I was awarded a study abroad scholarship and took an opportunity to study English literature in London. While there I also worked at an international publishing house, contributing to the editorial process.

My academic focus at Wyoming was in English literature and writing. Coursework included many literature surveys with an intense writing demand. I also took courses in report and news writing, creative writing, religion, analytical theory, Chinese history, and Spanish.

Since graduating I have pursued interests in writing and swimming. I currently assist in coaching the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's and women's swim team and I freelance for several publications. Writing is a passion of mine and I aim to make it a career. I recently took the GRE in order to apply to graduate school for a Masters of Fine Arts in creative non-fiction writing.

My tutoring strengths are in literature, writing, vocabulary, editing, and proofreading. I also bring professional editing experience to the table and have spent time working in an international and national publishing environment. In addition to my academic talent, I also have in-depth knowledge of swimming and collegiate athletics as a whole.

Swimming has been an essential part of my life since I was 8 years old. Now 26 years old, I am no longer competing, but coaching at the Division I level. I started my swimming career at the club level, where most swimmers start out. In high school I was a standout on the team and I was a member of two All-American relays my senior year. I was also named the conference MVP. During my senior year, I was heavily recruited because of my height and potential. I wound up at Wyoming on scholarship. For all four years of competition at Wyoming, I was a member of the conference championship team, I lettered, and was a member of the academic all-conference team. As a member of relays, I helped UW to new school records and winning times. During my senior year (2005), I swam the fastest 50 free at Wyoming since 1995. I know the demands that collegiate athletes face and I intimately know the difficulty of swimming at higher levels of competition coupled with academic responsibilities.
