Experience
I am a reliable, hard working and fun tutor who has gotten great results for 7 years and counting! As an aspiring professor of philosophy, my greatest passion is and has always been teaching students and helping them grow. While attending Xavier College Prep, a prestigious math and sciences oriented High School in Arizona, I worked for a non-profit Tutoring company called St. Judes, which helps elementary school children in need with their homework and exams three times a week. After passing my AP History, English, French and Biology exams with 5’s and 6’s, I moved to Toronto where I continued to teach by holding SAT prep classes for groups of 3 students or more, as well as one on one AP prep classes. Though I have the qualifications to teach Biology and the Natural Sciences, I am at heart a humanities girl, and have always helped my students excel in areas involving critical analysis and logical expression. I am proud to say that each one of my students had visible improvements in their classroom test scores in the period leading up to their standardized tests, where they all scored above average (even in the sciences!) During my time at McGill, I spent my summers working with students at the high school to college level on group test prep, though I found that I not only enjoy but find more effective private sessions for topics concerning reading and writing. After taking my GRE last Summer, I began holding private sessions where I worked with intensively with my students to improve all elements of their Qualitative study, and gave personalized homework exercises to improve the persuasiveness and succinctness of their writing. Now that I have just returned from Egypt, where I – you guessed it – taught English for 6 months, I am anxious to resume lessons before the summer ends. Although, to console myself, I remember that I will be beginning my PhD this Fall at Harvard, where I look forward to teaching 3 classes as a TA! Some relevant information: Test Scores: I received a perfect 6/6 on my GRE writing, and scored in the 98th percentile for my qualitative reasoning/verbal skills with a 168/170. I received a 780/800 on my SAT writing/reading, and a 797/800 (painful!) on my Literature Subject Test. University Grades: I graduated with a 4.0 in my Major, and was thus awarded First Class Honours as well as a spot on the Dean’s List upon leaving the university. Including courses outside of my Major, electives, I graduated with a 3.98, which gave me a secondary spot on the Dean’s List (to the pleasure of my parents). Awards: My entire undergrad was funded by merit based scholarships and bursaries by the Quebec Government and various funds internal and external to McGill. I was awarded the Hartwell and Sheikh Zaid Scholarship from Cambridge University to provide full funding (70,000 pounds) for my M.Phil in Ancient Philosophy, which I declined. I was also awarded the Foreign Languages Area Studies Fellowship from UCLA Berkeley to provide additional funding (30,000 dollars) on top of my full scholarship (65,000 dollars) for my Ph.D in Near Eastern Studies, which I declined.
