Experience

Tutoring Experience: two years as a children's art teacher, one year as a sewing instructor, one year as a preschool assistant teacher, 15+ years of childcare experience in day care, nannying and babysitting. I want to be a tutor because I have had many great tutoring experiences in my academic career beginning in elementary school and continuing through University. I feel that I would like to do what I can to help others succeed in their academic ambitions. I also feel that I am an excellent tutor because I am patient and because I have experienced a great deal of tutoring in my life I know which qualities make a good tutor. The relevant classes I have taken include all of my anthropology and sociology classes which were required for my major and minor programs including classes representing all four sub-disciplines, socio-cultural and biological anthropology, archaeology and linguistics. I specialize in socio-cultural anthropology but I am also very strong in archaeology and biological anthropology. My Graduate ambitions include creation mythology and its effects on ethnic identity formation and the evolution of material culture, especially textile, pottery, metal and bone work, through the transitions of human migration and add mixture within North African and European prehistory. I have completed two years of high school French and two years of college Russian. I have been a member of the Lambda Alpha Anthropology University Honors Society since 2012. I am a life long member of the Girl Scouts.
