Julie A.
Private tutor in Pittsburgh, PA
Education
University of Pittsburgh class of 2014, 3.72 GPA, Majors in Psychology and Nonfiction Writing, Minor in French.
Experience
I have three years of experience tutoring high school students in math and writing through the high school that I attended. During my time studying at Pitt, I also tutored other college students in writing persuasive essays for various courses for two semesters. I believe that tutoring is a great way for students to get the one-on-one academic support that they need to succeed in school. I'm currently preparing for a career in education, and I think that tutoring is a great way for me to help the community and fine-tune my teaching skills. Though I haven't tutored consistently for about two years, I work in educational psychology research, and interact with students grades 5-12 in school settings. I feel confident that I can help your child improve academically. I am most interested and would probably be most effective in tutoring Writing, Elementary or Intermediate French. I can also help with test-prep and study-skills for elementary-middle school, or high school/college social sciences. I've taken 9 college writing courses while completing my Nonfiction Writing Major, and 6 French courses in addition to studying abroad for 5 months in France while completing a French minor. I have great experience in teaching computer skills (especially using Macs) due to my previous employment at an Apple Retail store.

Hobbies
My interests include exploring the outdoors, reading fiction and nonfiction books, running, playing piano, and hanging out with friends. I love to cook yummy vegetarian food and try out local restaurants. I play the violin, piano, and a little bit of guitar, so playing and listening to music has always been a fun past-time for me!
