Samantha A.
Private tutor in St. Louis, MO
Education
Knox College '15 - BA, Theatre, minor in Gender and Women's Studies. Graduated Cum Laude (3.66 GPA)
Experience
Though I did not major in English, I took many English courses including Intro to Lit, African-American Women Writers, Latin American Women Writers, Gender and Lit, and Jane Austen. In addition, of course, I majored in Theatre which not only exposed me to many plays and acting techniques and history but also to a lot of literature. I took Creative Writing courses, focusing around Playwriting. In college, I was a Teaching Assistant for Beginning Acting, so I do have previous experience as a sort of teacher. This spring, I graduated Cum Laude, and was on the Dean's List for most of my time at Knox. I want to be a tutor because I enjoy sharing knowledge with others and I think that helping people write better and read better, in particular, can make us better human beings overall. Relevant ACT scores: 28 overall; 33 in English; 10 on the Writing portion.

Hobbies
I'm pursuing a career in acting , and I think that exposing children to the theatre is a really important tool in teaching empathy and better communication skills. I think that everything you do in life should give you some sort of joy - and that definitely includes learning. I didn't always love school, but I have always loved learning and I strive to do so every day. That's probably why I'm so passionate about acting: it requires one to constantly be learning new things, about the world around us especially. In my free time, I enjoy reading and writing and all the usual artsy things. I love to laugh, and I think that laughing is the best way to learn and grow.
