Karen E.

Private tutor in Austin, TX

Education

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, with a minor in mass communications, focusing in public relations and advertising, awarded from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, in 1021. After a year spent working in corporate communications, I returned to school. I earned my Master of Arts in Literature from Texas State University in 2014.

Experience

My high school SAT score was a 1440 out of 1500, and my GRE verbal score was a 680. I have been tutoring students of varying ages (6-60) and skill levels for 4 years. I am an adjunct professor of composition and literature through both Austin Community College and St Edwards University. I enjoy helping students learn not just the information and skills, but the value of what they're learning.

Hobbies

Because I took an odd path to become a teacher, I tend to get along well with students who don't consider themselves *writers* or who say that they're *math people* I've worked as a seamstress, I've worked construction, and I've worked in the business world. When working with community college students, I find ways to make Shakespeare exciting and relevant to students who really didn't see why they had to take a British Literature course before they could get their associate's degree in vehicle repair and maintenance. My favorite aspect of tutoring is helping students learn the skills and learn to appreciate them at the same time.
