Shauna K.
Private tutor in Denver, CO
Education
BS (Biology) and MS (Molecular Genetics) from the University of California, San Diego. Graduated high school with 4.2 GPA, great SAT scores, and many AP credits.
Experience
I am a professional tutor with 7 years of experience working for tutoring centers as well as in-home tutoring and home schooling. I specialize in SAT/ACT prep, English, writing, reading, biology, chemistry, algebra, geometry, essay writing and editing. Formerly, I was a professional science writer and editor at Stanford University and Berkeley Lab. My job involved explaining science, writing and editing content so it's simple, clear and engaging. I am also a certified ESL/TESOL teacher for ages 6-adult. I love working with students to improve their overall English skills, develop their voice, and craft clean essays. I also enjoy teaching science and math to students in a way that they can understand, and working with them to raise their grades, improve moral, and build good study habits.

Hobbies
I am an outdoor enthusiast and avid traveler. I enjoy checking out new parts of Colorado, walking my dog -- and other peoples' dogs! I played team sports when I was younger and ski raced during college. I'm a California girl but am loving it here in Colorado. I have always felt very at home here, and am so glad I moved here last year. I'm building a new student base for tutoring, and I work as a substitute teacher part time as well.
