Rachel J.
Private tutor in Portland, OR
Education
In 2012 I graduated with a 3.75 GPA from Indiana University majoring in both English Literature and Anthropology with a minor in Psychology. I focused my English major on Shakespeare studies and focused my Anthropology major on primatology, which culminated in a summer spent studying primate behavior in Costa Rica.
Experience
While I was in school I tutored high school age students in basic math/english/science. I also spent a summer in college working as a camp counselor in a camp specializing in wildlife rehabilitation and outdoor skills. We were teaching a group of 10 children ages 8-12. I also babysat while I attended school, children ranged in age from 1-11, and help with homework was frequently part of our day. I began college with 15 AP credits from high school. AP courses that provided me with college credit include: AP Language and Composition, AP Biology, AP Literature, AP Psychology, and French. English/Math combined SAT score: 1300 Most of all, I want to be a tutor because I genuinely enjoy helping another person learn! The moment where everything clicks and mental roadblocks are cleared is so exciting to experience!

Hobbies
I have worked in bakeries for the past two years learning a lot about scratch baking, organic baking, and cake decorating. I am very interested in vegan cooking and baking and spend a lot of my free time making fun stuff! I recently started doing aerial yoga which has quickly become my favorite form of exercise. I also love animals and have a cat named Gilbert. I had the privilege last year of working at a kitten nursery, which involved bottle feeding and monitoring kittens from 2 days old to 5 weeks old. It was such an honor to have such a crucial role in an animal's life. I enjoy reading, hiking, spending time with people, and learning new things!
