About Cecelia


Bio

Hello there! My name is Cecelia. I graduated summa cum laude with distinction from Hendrix College, a liberal arts university in Arkansas. I crafted an interdisciplinary major combining my interests in sociology, Spanish, and world travel! During my last year of university, I was granted the Watson Fellowship, a nationally competitive award that allowed me to travel for a year and study health across cultures. I have also been named a Fulbright Scholarship semifinalist for the past two years....

Hello there! My name is Cecelia. I graduated summa cum laude with distinction from Hendrix College, a liberal arts university in Arkansas. I crafted an interdisciplinary major combining my interests in sociology, Spanish, and world travel! During my last year of university, I was granted the Watson Fellowship, a nationally competitive award that allowed me to travel for a year and study health across cultures. I have also been named a Fulbright Scholarship semifinalist for the past two years. I am grateful for these opportunities, and know that I owe my success to the writing skills I gained in college.
During university, I worked as a tutor at my school’s writing center, where I developed a multistep approach to helping students articulate their passions and skills. My objective is to convince future employers and educational institutions of their merit. I have worked with students on job and university applications for 5 years, helping them attain job opportunities, full tuition scholarships, and prestigious nationally competitive awards such as the Fulbright scholarship.
As an application counselor, I help students identify undergraduate and graduate programs that fit their career goals. Well versed in programs in the United States, the UK, Canada, and Europe, I assist in making informed selections. Once the student has constructed a list, I work with them to create applications that demonstrate their strengths and values.
I have tutored students with a wide range of needs, so I know how to tailor lessons and critique to various skill sets. For students who struggle to get words on paper, I engage them in an interview process to help organize ideas. I also give detailed feedback to experienced writers who need another set of eyes. Application writing is just a matter of persuading the reader that your past experiences make you a seamless fit for the position. You can trust me to help you make your case! Please reach out with any questions, and I look forward to working with you soon.

Approved Subjects

Public Speaking

Public Speaking

As a member of PAV, I facilitated workshops to build community and combat violence in prisons throughout Bolivia. This position required that I practice public speaking skills in a chaotic and unpredictable environment. I facilitated in Spanish, which is not my first language. My goal as a workshop facilitator was to encourage inmates to speak in front of large groups about their life experiences in order to forge connections with those in their surroundings. I also have public speaking experience in presenting my psychology and neuroscience research at conferences, and experience tutoring students in public speaking through my position at the Hendrix College writing center.
Spanish

Spanish

As a Spanish tutor, I specialize in helping students develop their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills while building confidence in using Spanish in real-life situations. I tailor my teaching approach to each student’s proficiency level, learning style, and goals, making lessons engaging, practical, and personalized. My expertise includes explaining grammar concepts clearly, expanding vocabulary, improving pronunciation, and fostering a deeper understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures. I have extensive professional experience working and conducting research in Peru, Chile, and Bolivia, so I would be delighted to extend what I have learned to my students!
Writing

Writing

I have extensive experience helping students apply to jobs, scholarships, and colleges. Many of the individuals I have worked with have gotten their dream jobs and attended college on full scholarships. After four years of honing my techniques, I feel confident assisting with resume building, application essay brainstorming and editing, cover letter writing, and much more!
