Jodi W.
Private tutor in Denver, CO
Education
I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. My majors weree environmental studies and political science, though I also enrolled in a number of economics and engineering courses.
Experience
My experience/qualifications: I don't remember my SAT score, but my ACT was a 32, and I received 4's and 5's on my APs (history, government, chemistry, writing). I've previously tutored some in high school and college and have taken relevant classes in all the topics I listed under "Subjects." I hope to use my experience to help others improve their grades and/or test scores.

Hobbies
My basic philosophy about tutoring: I feel there is always a way to get a topic across to someone; if one way of teaching doesn't work, then it's up to the teacher to change their style to best fit their student. I really enjoy tutoring. There are two things, in particular, I find especially amazing, the first of which is working with a student and hear them say, "Oh, that's what it's all about! I get it now." Seeing that sudden "click" when a difficult subject is suddenly clear is absolutely golden. The second is being able see the improvement they've made. It's fantastic for everyone involved when you can compare work from one point - say a month prior - and see a drastic improvement when compared to current work. As for hobbies/interests: I like sports, especially basketball, baseball, and soccer. I also really enjoy watching movies, and I'm a major bookworm (my friends literally come over to my apartment to borrow books instead of going to the library). Despite all the time I spend reading, though, I'm actually pretty outgoing and enjoy spending time outside, especially when it involves hiking or skiing.
