Experience
Scores: 3.7/4.0 College GPA 35 composite ACT 36 ACT science 5 on AP Environmental Science, Language & Composition, Microeconomics I love science, especially the multidisciplinary nature of earth sciences. I also have a passion for English and writing. I currently work as a Geologist for an engineering consulting firm in the Western suburbs. My enthusiasm, patience, and knowledge of how subjects are practically applied will serve to help students from a wide range of ability levels. Effective communication in any medium is very important to me. Additionally, I feel the best, most exciting, and most useful knowledge is that which is understood in the big picture - it is this that I would work to instill in students along with the basic lesson being taught. My most recent student that I tutored for the ACT increased his composite score by six points. With patience and a good attitude, am confident that I can help even the most struggling student raise their score.
