Private tutor in New York, NY
Education
BFA Musical Theatre, Spanish minor, Pace University, Summa Cum Laude
Experience
Having graduated Summa Cum Laude from Pace University in May 2014 with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in Spanish, I am proficient in homework help, particularly in Spanish, for ages K-12. Although I do not represent the typical Education major, I have been able to use my theatrical training to provide students with outgoing, engaging, and passionate instruction. I want to share my love of the Spanish language and culture with young students, inspiring them to discover the joy of learning a new language as I discovered throughout my college studies. I completed 18 credits of Spanish classes at Pace University, earning a minor in Spanish, graduating with a 3.93 GPA and becoming a member of Phi Sigma Iota, the international foreign language honor society. I also excelled academically throughout high school, graduating in the top 2% of my class of 802 students, scoring 2110 on the SAT, receiving the AP Scholar Award, being a member of the Spanish Honor Society, and holding the position of Vice President of the National Honor Society. I also volunteered as an after-school tutor at a local Junior High School, gaining experience with homework help and guidance. Furthermore, I spent summer 2013 in Spain working for a family as an au pair, where I was able to immerse myself in the Spanish language as well as teach English to their 3 children. I am passionate about showing students how exciting it can be to exchange cultures and learn a new language. Because I can blend my academic skill-set with my training in Musical Theatre, I provide students with a learning environment they will absolutely love. Through my work on stage, I have gained communication skills that give me the ability to address classes with ease and comfort, allowing my students to feel the same comfort throughout my lessons. With my organized, responsible, yet naturally personable nature, students will be guaranteed a positive and energetic tutor they love to visit. - SAT score: 2110 - AP Courses: World History, US History, English, Chemistry, Calculus BC, Spanish - University Spanish courses: Adv Spanish Literature I and II, Spanish Theater, Magical Realism in Latin American Literature, Adv Spanish composition
