Experience
I taught an SAT Math course at UC Berkeley, and tutored several students from the elementary school, middle school and high school in Berkeley (primarily for SATs and math). I've very much enjoyed my past tutoring experiences and we meet at Starbucks, a very public place so that both of us are comfortable. Work Experience: Rite Aid Pharmacy for 6 months+ 1-800-remodel for 2 years Assistant/Notetaker for disabled students for 3 years Hotel Manager/Desk Clerk for 7 years City Model Management for 2 years UC Berkeley tutor 1 year Internship: USDA Labs in Albany, CA Libby Labs in Berkeley, CA Volunteer Experience: -Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentor/Grant writer -Hospital -Elementary School Carnival Volunteer -Special Olympics -Alameda Hospital I went from B's in my freshman year to A's for the rest of my high school career. I also raised my SAT scores by 300 points. I love tutoring and teaching students because I truly want them to understand as much as they can and raise their score; and eventually they will make it into the school that is the right fit for them. I have worked with kids for over six years now, and I absolutely love it. I believe everyone can get where they want to be as long as they give it their all, no matter what background they come from or how old they are, etc. The key is to practice, practice, practice. And if there's a will, there's a way. Note: I am flexible with days and times. If weekdays are preferred, let me know and I'll be happy to accommodate you!
