Crystal J.
Private tutor in Portland, OR
Education
Graduated in May 2015, majoring in Visual Arts and with a minor in Creative Writing at Minneapolis Community & Technical College, with a 3.88 GPA. I was also the Creative Writing Club president at my college for the 2014-2015 school year.
Experience
I am a Level 1 Writing and Logic tutor, certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). When I took my ACCUPLACER Test for my college, I got a rare 100% for the reading and writing portions. I have had poetry of mine published, as well as one creative nonfiction piece. When I used to nanny, I was often asked to look over the essays and papers of the children of my clients. No one ever got lower than a B-. I absolutely love writing and reading, and enjoy sharing my passion for these subjects with as many people as possible. Nothing makes me happier than when I see a student starting to grasp their subject.

Hobbies
I am a voracious reader, an eclectic audiophile, and a hula-hooping enthusiast as well. In my spare time, I write creative nonfiction, try (and fail) to teach myself to knit, and play the ukulele. Finding the humor in life is important to me, and so I find that everything has a potential to be funny. I have two cats that I will tell many, many stories of, as well as a 5 year old niece that I adore.
