Experience

Relevant SAT Scores: Writing -- 800 Reading -- 760 Relevant AP Scores: AP English Literature and Composition -- 5 AP English Language and Composition -- 5 I've taken a lot of Writing and Literature classes at Pitt, in subjects that vary, from 'Writing Youth Literature' to 'Persuasive Writing for Advertising and Fundraising,' from 'Sci Fi: East and West' to 'The Modernist Tradition.' In other words, I'm comfortable writing in a wide range of styles and on a variety of subjects. I excelled in English-related subjects at the University level, and I'm good at applying the methods learned through that coursework to helping younger students as well. While I was at Pitt, I had an internship for credit at a local magazine. The editor left two weeks into my internship, and the publisher gave me most of his responsibilities. For that whole semester, I was responsible for coming up with article concepts, assigning them to writers, writing several pieces myself, and proofreading the whole issue of the magazine. This taught me a lot about how to guide people at varying skill levels through the writing process, from initial idea to publication, and I'm confident that I can apply this experience to tutoring. I currently work for Pitt, and while I like my job because I get to interact with a ton of people every day, it doesn't give me much of an opportunity to write and edit. I quite enjoy proofreading and helping people shape their writing skills.

Hobbies

When I'm not at work or at home, I'm probably at the movies. Because I get a great tuition benefit working for Pitt, I'm going for a second Bachelor's, this time in Film Studies. I love to talk endlessly about film and pop culture, and I hope to turn that into a career someday.
