Experience
I taught 11th-12th grade English in Jackson, TN, and plan to return to high school teaching upon completion of current degree. I did very well on standardized tests (PSAT, SAT, GRE) and have a solid background in all high school subjects (including 5's not only in humanities AP classes, but also Calculus BC). But literature, grammar, writing, and critical thinking are by far my passions (and the areas in which I have an actual claim to some expertise). I love teaching, and nothing is better for teachers than the chance for one-one-one instruction. Most of my tutoring, other than teaching high school, has been pro bono for the children of friends or in community centers.

Hobbies
I've always been a jack of all trades, and universally interested. I've played sports my whole life, I've been making music for a long time, I like hiking and being outdoors, and mostly just love good conversation. I always have fifteen projects on the back burner--a piece of furniture to build, a sociology book to read, a series of poems to write, a new complicated dish to learn how to cook, another language to study.
