Private tutor in Yonkers, NY
Education
Currently in my third year at Lehman College, an extension of CUNY, I'm majoring in African American Studies and minoring in Political Science. Maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.79, I expect to graduate in 2010 with my Bachelors Degree. In rapid succession, I plan to apply to Columbia University's Law School to become a lawyer specializing in immigration and civil rights issues.
Experience
Passing on knowledge has always been a passion of mine, and one that is avidly expressed through my work experience. Tutoring for the non profit BELL foundation, I mentored students in grades 2-6 during my sophomore year in college. Throughout my junior year, I tutor college students in the SEEK program in a vast range of subjects. Also a Supplemental Instructor, I coach students on proper note taking techniques. I've taken the English AP in high school and scored a 4 out of 5, a 750 on the reading portion of the SAT, and a "pass with distinction" on the CPE, an exam administered to all of the student body in CUNY. I enjoy tutoring because I enjoy sharing information. Knowledge is the key to the door of the future, and I can help one on his/her quest to obtain that key. The courses that I've excelled in (all "A" grades) are as follows: History 250, English Composition 110 and 120, English Literature, Minority English Lit, African American Lit., Afro-Caribbean Studies, Abnormal Psychology, Intro. to Psychology, Intro. to Political Science, Democracy and Its Critics and much, much more!
