Chelsea H.
Private tutor in Hollywood, CA
Education
I will be a Senior next year at Pitzer College, a member of the Claremont Colleges. I am a Political Studies major and Philosophy minor.
Experience
I am currently one of ten writing tutors at my College's writing center. This position requires that I work 10-12 hours per week helping students at a peer to peer level with their writing assignments, brain-storming and overall organizational skills. This year alone, I have helped students raise their grades exponentially and even assisted some in receiving acceptance into Teach for America. I attended weekly training meetings and spent each week working with a variety of students and their writing. I have worked with several older students pursuing graduate studies, special needs students, college students and young children. As a Political Studies major and Philosophy minor at Pitzer College, I have extensive experience with writing, critical thinking and explaining difficult subjects in a more accessible way. I have been employed at my College's Writing Center for over a year now and have been certified online by Norton's Little Seagull program. In the past, I have also been a private tutor in Sherman Oaks, CA. I worked at home and helped neighborhood kids with their reading, writing and social studies. I believe that working at a horizontal level is the best way to create a supportive and effective learning environment. As a tutor, I find it highly rewarding to help students achieve their goals and learn how to manage their time while also improving their writing technique. Having the ability to write a strong essay, letter or short story is becoming increasingly more important in the academic world. I am motivated to help young students learn these necessary skills early and hopefully, build a strong foundation in organization and writing for the future. This summer, I am offering a program targeted at middle school to high school students. It is writing intensive and will teach students how to organize a strong essay and help them to improve in all academic subjects where writing is necessary. Additionally, I am happy to help those students who need assistance with summer school courses.
