Private tutor in Raleigh, NC
Education
I am currently studying to earn my Master of Education degree in Counseling from NC State University. I have completed all of my graded coursework with a GPA of 3.74. I am a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society and Chi Sigma Iota Counseling Society International. I am a Guilford College Graduate from the Class of 2014. My BA is in German Literature, and I received a minor in philosophy. In my major, I maintained a 3.7 GPA. My next goal is to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I really enjoy helping people overcome challenges and achieve their goals. It is a very rewarding experience to know that you have made a difference and helped an individual improve his or her life.
Experience
My love of teaching is the result of growing up with a love for learning. As a graduate of Guilford College, with a GPA of 3.7 in German, I know that diligence, hard work, and dedication to studies pay off. I also made a 770 on the SAT Writing Section and a 740 on the SAT Verbal Section. I have had the pleasure of assisting with teaching introductory German courses in college and have also enjoyed helping other German students realize their own potential, and improve their grades. It is a very rewarding experience to see a student begin to realize his or her potential, and to see their grades and test scores improve. This is a great job! I specialize in tutoring English and German for success in scholastic endeavors, and on the SAT and GED. I am also good at reaching students who have problems with concentration, such as ADD/ADHD or Bipolar Disorder. One of my goals for each tutoring session is to keep the student challenged, but not overwhelmed. I hold myself to a high standard. Because of this, I request feedback from my students, and I never bill a lesson for which the student or parent is not totally satisfied with my work. With scheduling, I try to be flexible. I have a 24-hour cancellation policy, but I offer makeup classes. To ensure that students have a space conducive to learning, I prefer to meet at the Hunt Library at NCSU. I am happy to travel to another location, within my travel radius, if that is the student’s preference.
