Emilie K.
Private tutor in Portland, OR
Education
English major at Los Angeles City College, Continued education at PCC. High School Graduate '05: High Honors.
Experience
I have tutored children and high schoolers previously either paid or as volunteer work. I also tutored to help students achieve their GED. I love tutoring because I believe that kids learn in different ways and by means of learning through a tutor engages a student from a varied approach. Some children have a hard time learning with others and when a one-on-one session occurs, the likelihood to succeed increases. I've gone to three different colleges due to moving quite frequently through my early twenties. I've taken all of my General Education classes with the exception of mathematics (not my strongest subject beyond geometry). I've excelled in all other subjects but have a passion for language, writing, reading, and grammar. I currently am a project assistant at a high-end building company. I am extremely knowledgable of using computers, various programs, editing, and web design.
