Teaching Experience: -Homework tutor for a middle school student when I was in high school -Undergraduate tutor for language and linguistics classes at UC Santa Cruz -Grad student TA for linguistics classes at UC Santa Cruz -TA for introductory biology at SF State -Freelance Spanish tutoring/teaching Test scores: SAT: 1350 SATII: 710, 750, 770 (math, Spanish, writing; I don't remember which score was for which test) AP: 5 in Spanish, 3 in English, 5 in Calc BC, 3 in Physics High School GPA: 3.62 College GPA: 3.97 I want to be a tutor because I enjoy teaching. I enjoy finding new ways to explain concepts so that a student understands them. I enjoy helping people. Relevant classes: I've studied Spanish for over half my life and I lived and studied in Mexico City for 6 months in college. I've acted in Spanish-language theater, and I have worked and volunteered serving Spanish-language populations. I have a strong command of the grammar and pronunciation. Native-speakers have told me that I sound like I come from South America. I've taken one year of university physics, and one year of university biology. Math is fun for me, especially Algebra and Calculus.
