Summary
I am an English student pursuing an English bachelor's degree in the hopes of obtaining English masters' degree and a position as an English instructor at the post-graduate level. Seeking employment to further the understanding of teaching and writing beyond a classroom. Tutoring will help me understand the struggles and complications others will have when writing at any level while polishing interpersonal skills. I have helped friends countlessly throughout the years whether that was helping them prepare outlines for papers or simply proofreading with suggestions. My previous work experience may have limited merit to this position, but I believe that perseverance and passion through adversity and change are what can help everyone grow, including the students that I have tutored. I am also pursuing a degree in Natural Resource Conservation and Management because I am extremely passionate about preventative measures of invasive species.
