Private tutor in Arlington, MA
Education
In 2005, I graduated Salutatorian from the private school, The Hun School of Princeton, in Princeton, NJ. In 2009, I graduated from Wellesley College in Wellesley, MA with a Double Major in English (GPA 3.23/4.0) and Studio Art (GPA 3.37/4.0). In June of 2012, I will be starting a Master of High School Education (Leading to Initial Licensure) program from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. In April, I will be taking the the Communications and Literacy portion of the MTEL and will have the first requirement completed to gaining a full teaching license in the state of Massachusetts.
Experience
From 2009-2011 I was a full-time AmeriCorps classroom teacher at Our Sisters' School (an independent, inner city, all girls middle school in New Bedford, MA). During the 2009-2010 school year, I taught 7th grade math and science and from 2010-2011 I taught 8th grade English and history. I have worked directly with the Massachusetts State Standards and aligned all four of my curriculums to meet these requirements. From July 2011 to February 2012, I completed a bike tour fundraising project entitled "Another Mile, Another Starfish" in which I biked with one other person from Anchorage, AK to Bay St. Lois, MS to raise $20,000 for Our Sisters' School and awareness for the education of disadvantaged youth. Overall, I have dedicated the last 10 years of my life to working with children, both in the states and abroad. While at Wellesley, I studied abroad in London, England and travelled throughout much of Europe. I have also been to Costa Rica and spent two summers working at a summer camp in Istanbul, Turkey. I have experience applying to and attending private high schools and colleges and have had the privilege of immersing myself in exceptionally demanding and rewarding academic environments. I bring a worldly, open-minded, and interdisciplinary approach to learning and plan to commit the rest of my life to educating youth and inspiring the next generation of students. I believe that education is one of the greatest gifts we can provide and that all children deserve the opportunity to succeed and achieve their dreams.
