"Hey, I'm Katie, nice to meet you! I'm studying secondary English education at Hope College in Holland, MI with the goal to become a middle school language arts teacher. I love teaching and working with young people, so tutoring is an excellent opportunity for both of us to learn new skills.

I graduated high school summa cum laude with four department awards. I have a 1570 SAT (790 EBRW, 780 Math) and received 5's on 7 different AP exams. I love reading and writing most but consider myself well-rounded in all disciplines. I currently hold a 4.0 GPA after 69 college credits.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have served in a wide range of leadership positions, including in high school marching band, NHS, peer-helping programs, and Bible studies. In college, I continue to serve at church as well as in band and orchestra, and I am the tutor development coordinator at my college's writing center. I also have experience as a summer camp counselor. These positions have trained me in the interpersonal skills that help me successfully build relationships with my students. I aim to create a safe space where students can ask any and all questions and learn at their own pace.

I am in my second year with Wyzant and have worked with students ages 11-17 in a variety of subjects. I can provide peer review, homework support, supplementary instruction, or test preparation. As a full-time student myself balancing other jobs and activities, I am taking on just a few hours of tutoring at a time. However, I am happy to make arrangements to give students the time, resources, and flexibility they need!

I am here for middle school, high school, or college students seeking support with their analytical essays or creative writing assignments, or those who just need someone to do homework or study with to keep them accountable. I would love to connect with you, so feel free to reach out!" less...
