Experience

I have tutored a wide variety of students in subjects like algebra, reading, SAT prep, science, and languages (specifically French and Swahili). I also worked as an outreach teacher for Seattle's Pacific Science Center and taught science for the Peace Corps in Tanzania. Although I took an antiquated form of the SAT (and scored 1490 out of 1600, with 750 verbal, 740 math), I have tutored students on the current version.
