Private tutor in Los Angeles, CA
Education
Rice University - BA in Sociology and Theatre. Minor in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. Graduated May 2014.
Experience
I was a full-time High School Theatre and Yoga teacher at YES Prep Public Schools right after graduating from college. I am professionally certified as a high school teacher. I taught theatre with focuses on writing, reading, and public speaking. I also taught dance, voice, acting, and play-writing. I also have experience tutoring elementary & middle school math, science, reading and writing through the PAIR program in Houston. I have built extensive SAT study skills. I scored a 2250 on the SAT. These days taking the exam is not just analyzing, memorizing and reasoning; it's also about strategically preparing for and taking the exam. As a product of too many test prep courses and private tutoring, I have gathered a variety of successful study skill habits that I'd love to pass on.

Hobbies
1) I'm a voracious reader of both fiction and non-fiction. Most recently I've read the gorgeous and haunting "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. I grew up reading Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, both of which I love. I also enjoy keeping up with current events, especially via CNN, BBC, Time Magazine, The New Yorker, Newsweek, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. 2) I'm a theatre nerd. I act, dance, and sing. I particularly enjoy active theatre. For example, Kafka's Metamorphosis is one of my favorites. I was lucky enough to see it in New York on an incredibly dynamic stage, and the main actor portrayed the physicality of an insect impeccably. 3) I'm a professional jazz-soul-blues vocalist and have been performing since age 6 from Boston to Houston to Los Angeles.
