I taught one-on-one classes in both English and history at the middle and high school level for over two years, so I have a lot of experience tailoring my instruction to students of different abilities and skill levels.

Hi! I'm Jared S. -- a tutor with an extensive teaching background and degrees in both English and Political Science from Vanderbilt University. I taught one-on-one classes in both English and history at the middle and high school level for over two years, so I have a lot of experience tailoring my instruction to students of different abilities and skill levels. I also have a strong track record of performance on the ACT and SAT, as well as on AP tests, which makes me confident I could help others prepare for those exams

I think the most important goal of any teacher or tutor is making people feel comfortable in their learning environment, and I model my tutoring style after this goal. I strive to find and explore the areas of a subject that most grab the attention of whomever I'm working with; my hope is that my students leave each session feeling more empowered.

In short, whether it's writing a college essay, breaking down a piece of literature, or studying for a history test, I'm happy to offer a fun and productive learning environment where students can shine. I love learning and helping others learn, especially when it comes to writing, and I look forward to sharing that enthusiasm with you!

Approved Subjects

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I have a degree in Creative Writing from Vanderbilt University, which required exploring creative writing through various mediums, including poetry, scriptwriting, and memoir. This included an independent study project on the effectiveness of memoir. Further, I have taught high school screenwriting and comedy courses, and have incorporated creative writing into standard English courses as well.
Debate

Debate

I competed in Speech and Debate events for 3+ years in high school, qualifying in speech events for all 3 years. In my senior year, I reached National Speech and Debate All-American distinction and qualified for Nationals in the Extemporaneous Speaking event. I also served as a public speaking and debate instructor in college part-time, so I have experience translating my time as a debate competitor into engaging and compelling lessons.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

As a dual major in the humanities (English and Political Science), academic writing is one of my core skills. I've mastered teaching essay structure and organization through 2+ years of English classes with students ranging from 6th to 12th grade, and am comfortable helping college writers as well. I also have experience helping students develop their college application essays in post-secondary prep courses.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I competed for my team's speech and debate club in high school. I won state finals in extemporaneous speaking and went to Nationals for the event. I also was co-captain of the team for the last two years of competition, and have subsequently taught public speaking and debate classes for over a year.
United States History

United States History

I have over 2 years of experience teaching both middle and high school U.S. History. That experience included using AP materials and developing AP rubric-ready essay writing skills. I also acquired my Political Science degree from Vanderbilt on the U.S. Government track, meaning my knowledge is specialized to the historical and political development of the U.S.
