Experience
Private tutor since November 2015. 28 General ACT score with a 32 in English. Tutoring is all about giving students something they're not getting through the educational establishment. For whatever reason, sometimes school just doesn't work for a students. I want to be a tutor because I want to give students education they can't get elsewhere. I specialize in English and specialize further in that with English as a Second Language, or ESL. I spend my unpaid time still teaching ESL as part of language exchange with Japanese nationals looking to learn English.
