English/Writing Tutor (Grade School, College, SAT Prep)

Christopher P.

My name is Chris! I'm an undergraduate at the University of Arizona with a major in Creative Writing and a minor in Games & Behavior. I benefitted from tutoring while taking college calculus courses, and I seek to provide that same level of care and assistance to others in the areas I specialize in. I'm a patient tutor and will always ensure a complete understanding of the material before moving on. I develop lesson plans based on the student's individual needs and schedule, and am always willing to adjust to fit changes.
I am new to tutoring, and bring with me an academic record that speaks to my capabilities. I graduated high school a year early with honors in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies, as well as 30 college credits which I earned at a local community college through dual enrollment. I was placed on the Dean's List twice at that school, and was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa honors society for my performance. I earned a 1530 on the SAT, with a 790 in Reading/Writing and a 740 in Math. This placed me in the top 1% of scorers nationwide. In college, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA and been placed on the Dean's List with Distinction two semesters in a row. I have composed a number of original pieces throughout my studies, some of which have been retained by professors for example use in future curricula.
I specialize in English. This includes general English courses, writing composition, proofreading, literature, and other subcategories. While I am not SAT-exclusive, if test prep should fall within a student's needs it will be incorporated into tutoring.
