| Experience: | My high school stressed community service in every grade, and I was a member of my high school's National Honor Society, which meant additional community service. Among the many enterprises in which I engaged, tutoring struggling math students was a regular occupation. Throughout high school, I was also the go-to girl for any editing of papers. Both my parents are English Professors, so I grew up bathed in the subtleties of the English language and surrounded by writers. In all of my writing classes at NYU--both academic and creative--I've received A's. I'm a literature junkie--novels, short stories, poetry, and plays--and scored 5s on both my English Language and English Lit AP exams in high school. I've already taken two courses studying influential plays and Shakespeare; this coming semester, I'll be taking a Modern American and British poetry class. In high school, I received multiple writing awards. I am currently working on a collection of short stories. It's been three years now since I took the SATs, but I did score a 2280--with a perfect writing score, and having missed only one question in the vocabulary section. If anyone needs SAT help, then, I'd be more than happy to assist.
As both my parents are teachers, I seem to have inherited the teaching gene--or at least I've caught on to my parents' ways. I taught in a daycare last summer, and often end up assisting instructors in small classes, when they find it hard to reach their students. My strengths tend to lie in English--as you may have guessed--but I also scored a 5 on my Spanish Language AP exam, and have maintained a good deal of that. Also, as a Musical Theatre major, I've just completed a two-year music theory intensive and am always learning more about music, so I am qualified to help students struggling in music. I have a passion for music, literature, drama--and words, which are an element of all of the above. I have seen what a great impact teachers can have on students--not only because I've seen my parents' impact, but also because of the impact certain instructors have had on my life. |
| Hobbies: | I adore literature and film. As a Musical Theatre student, I attend conservatory classes three days a week, which include singing, dancing, and acting classes. I'm also quite interested in history and politics; I'm especially excited to see how this com |
