Experience
For the past nine years I have worked with children, adolescents, and young adults in the fields of education and social work. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from Tufts University and a Master's Degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. As a teacher and a tutor, I have helped students become better writers. They have learned how to write detailed and persuasive thesis statements with logical, supporting evidence. My students have written moving personal statements that help them reflect on their lives and communicate deeply with the audience. Students have passed reading, writing, and history tests after learning through a variety of mediums such as texts, videos, and interactive stories. I also enjoy diving into the world of literature as students uncover complex themes and imagery in fiction writing and inspiring historical events and facts in non-fiction writing. I believe patience, coupled with a determination to succeed, is vital for students to reach their goals. Having worked with students with complex disabilities, I learned how to make the material accessible to individual students and how to set SMART goals to ensure that students succeed.
