Ashley B.
Private tutor in Denver, CO
Education
I am currently a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Writing Department. I also attended the University of Denver for undergraduate and graduated with a 3.8 GPA after only 3 years with my BA in English and a minor in Art History.
Experience
I currently volunteer at 826-CHI, a non-profit tutoring and writing center in Chicago. There, I work with students ranging from ages 6-18. I also worked as a freelance tutor (in the area of academic writing) for undergraduate students while attending University of Denver. I scored in the 90th percentile on the ACTs and have also received excellent scores on both the GRE general exam and the GRE Literature in English subject exam. I enjoy working with students one-on-one to achieve their academic goals because I feel this is the most appropriate way to learn a subject that does not come easily to a student. That being said, I am currently teaching a course entitled "Contemporary Hybrid Literature" to fifteen college freshman at SAIC. Because of the small class size, I have been fortunate enough to teach in a group setting and also offer students my individual attention if need be. In this course, we are exploring creative writing as well as learning how to write academic and critical essays. This qualifies me to teach both creative writing and academic writing simultaneously which has been incredibly rewarding as I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in both fields.
