Lauren C.
Private tutor in Westland, MI
Education
I graduated from Oakland University in 2014 with a B.A. in English. I also minored in History and Women and Gender Studies. I graduated with a 3.5 overall GPA and with departmental honors. I recently earned a Master in Library and Information Science at Wayne State University with a specialization in youth services.
Experience
I worked for Beyond Basics, a non-profit that provides reading tutors for students in Detroit and Pontiac schools. I worked in a high school, so I have experience tutoring high school students in reading. I also helped them with the ACT, their English homework, and occasionally their math and science homework. I want to continue tutoring because helping people succeed is rewarding, and I like to empower people with knowledge. English tests. I scored a 29 on my ACT, and a 3 on both AP In college, I took several American and British literature courses, as well as several American history courses. One of my classes was all about grammar, which has been very useful for writing and editing. Since I have studied library services for children and young adults, I am familiar with current literature and trends for those age groups.

Hobbies
I like to read, particularly young adult fiction. I also enjoy arts and crafts and playing board games. Of course, I love to hang out with my friends at home, or go out to eat or to the movies with them. Now that I'm done with school I have been catching up on TV shows I didn't have time to watch before.
