Zoe D.
Private tutor in Austin, TX
Education
Double majored in Creative Writing and Ancient Greek Language & Literature at Oberlin College. Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree and a 3.3 GPA.
Experience
I have worked in a variety of settings with children: I was an au pair in Germany, a babysitter in high school, and in college I tutored a professor's daughter in 3rd grade math. I've also lead art classes with children. I have worked as a tutor to students in college, primarily in writing and editing. I was also a teacher's assistant in an introductory poetry workshop. Everyone learns differently - and that's what makes teaching and tutoring so fun for me. It isn't about the material, but about how you make it interesting or relevant to the student. This is what I want to provide for any student I have - a respect for their own specific learning process.

Hobbies
I am a musician and an artist. I have lived abroad a number of years in the past, and moved back to the states recently. I know a little German, French, Greek, and Spanish. I have published poems in a number of literary magazines (my own publication is also forthcoming), and lately I have begun to learn how to DJ and make my own music. Creativity is how I learned to be confident and express myself, and I find it to be one of the greatest skills to recognize in a child - I hope that I can instill this in the tutoring process, so that certain topics are made more relevant, simple and interesting.
