My main subjects I hope to tutor are in English, writing and literature, as I find these deeply interesting. Time-writes in particular always piqued my attention since it forced me to use the best of my English skills to quickly write down an essay and to make it concise, yet detailed. This made me enjoy creating essays, since the prompts typically gave a lot of breathing room for me to incorporate my own analysis, humor and prose. Along with this, I have loved helping to annotate essays that my friends have sent, as it benefits both of us mutually. I find being respectful of their writing, while being thorough in identifying mistakes is the best way for positive feedback.
Although I have no direct teaching or tutoring experience, I do have experience in leadership for students. I was team captain of my cross-country team for 2 years, and volunteered at numerous youth PAL Track Meets, working with younger athletes. These activities have taught me how to thoughtfully communicate with younger students, while also pushing them to their creative and independent thinking. I hope to push every student that I work with to their best by strengthening their best parts, and revising and trimming what is unnecessary. This way, their voice is clear, concise, and worded professionally.
