Experience
I was a Teaching Assistant for Introductory Biology and Plant Taxonomy while at college. I was a tutor for my college's Academic Enhancement and Writing Center while at college. The classes I tutored for were General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, General Biology, Evolution and Biological Diversity. I went through a year long program on tutoring and am now a Certified Advanced Level II Tutor following CRLA standards. AP Calculus Score: 5 AP Chemistry Score: 5 ACT Composite Score: 34 of 36 SAT Critical Reading: 740, 98th percentile SAT Math: 760, 98th percentile GRE Verbal Reasoning: 164, 93rd percentile GRE Quantitative Reasoning: 166 93rd percentile I believe that being a tutor is not about giving out all the answers and telling a person what to do. Instead it is about giving them the tools to learn independently, helping review difficult topics, setting the conceptual framework for the basics of a field, and instilling a love for the subject. The important thing is that a tutor is helping a person to develop the capacity and drive to be an independent achiever.
