Willow R.
Private tutor in New York, NY
Education
BSc in Ecology and Economics from the University of Edinburgh MSc in Environmental Policy from the London School of Economics
Experience
790 on SAT Math (2230 overall), 35 on the ACT, and 8 AP subjects with scores of 4 and 5 -- scary how you never seem to forget these numbers! I've tutored in various capacities over the years; from English language while in Korea to environmental stewardship in Nicaragua. In high school I tutored students in reading at a bilingual elementary school where many pupils were learning to read in English as they learned to speak it! My higher education is heavy on the STEM subjects--I love the "aha" moment when derivatives make sense, or I can rattle off Latin names of tropical ants, and I love sharing that discovery with others. However, for middle and high school students I'm qualified to tutor in the humanities as well, having taken AP courses in American, European, and World History, and English Language and English Literature. I have ample experience in proof-reading and editing: I have proof-read three undergraduate dissertations and three Master's theses, in addition to being hired as a proof-reader for a professional publication. For essays I'm happy to quote according to page or word length rather than hourly.
