Jamie P.

Private tutor in Spring City, TN

Education

I am currently a Junior Secondary Education Major with a concentration in English at Tennessee Tech University. My cumulative GPA is 3.8. I graduated from high school as thirteenth in my class out of approximately 350 students.

Experience

I have tutored on the secondary level (grades 6-12) and the college level. I have taken various courses throughout my college career that have prepared me to teach and tutor well. These classes include Strategies for Teaching, Composition, American Literature, British Literature, Victorian Literature, Creative Writing, Shakespeare, Young Adult Literature, and numerous reading classes. I've also acquired many hours of actual classroom/teaching experience in the public schools. I want to be a tutor because I have a passion for helping others. As a result, I also yearn to see them succeed academically. Everyone needs some extra help sometimes, and I love to lend a hand.

Hobbies

I absolutely love to teach and tutor! The experience of seeing a student have a "light bulb" moment is unparalleled. In my free time, I enjoy reading, creative writing, watching documentaries about anything and everything, and attending as many concerts as I possibly can. In addition, I delight in helping and supporting others. I've volunteered as a crisis counselor with Crisis Text Line since September 2016. Many of the texters I interact with are adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18. In other words, I have a lot of experience communicating with adolescents.
