I'm August! I am an enrolled student at Marist University, where I work 4 days a week as a tutor for middle and high school students in the Poughkeepsie school district. My students there were often the type to hate school, and I understood, because their teachers weren't going the extra mile to make sure they comprehended the subject matter. My role as a tutor brings me so much joy when I can restore a student's love for learning or get them to master a concept. The relationships I've fostered with my students from this job will stick with me for the rest of my life
As a tutor, I specialize in ELA and SAT Reading and Writing. I hold a score of 770 on the SAT's RW section, and have written essays that have awarded me scholarships from numerous colleges and universities. I am no stranger to editing and proofreading, as a journalism major and newspaper editor at school, I proofread others' work every day.
Additionally, in the summer, I worked as a Summer Rising Counselor for two years, and built skills in managing entire classrooms and groups of students. No matter if its 1-on-1 or in a group, I always make sure no student is falling behind on any subject.
I am looking forward to building meaningful relationships with students! Feel free to contact with any questions.
