Casey L.
Private tutor in Rock Hill, SC
Education
I graduated from Fort Mill High School in 2006, and I am currently a junior at Winthrop University majoring in English and minoring in History and Secondary Education. After graduating from Winthrop next spring, I plan on teaching English at the high school level. I couldn't be more excited to enter the classroom! :)
Experience
I have been fully accepted into the Richard W. Riley College of Education at Winthrop University, which means that I am now considered a potential teacher who is in the pre-professional stage. I have created multiple lesson plans and completed field experiences in middle and high school classrooms, where I have also worked one-on-one with students. I have taken upper-level courses in educational psychology, writing pedagogy, grammar, Shakespeare, and individual learning needs, as well as many other classes in English and History. I have been extremely involved at Winthrop, working with high school students who are about to graduate through the Office of Admissions and the Office of Orientation. I served as an Orientation Leader and worked with groups of high school students to prepare them for college; as a part of this job, I had to create group activities and essentially teach classes about the college experience. I also have worked with our school's entertainment programming board, community service organization, and other various projects in student affairs and community involvement. I want to be a tutor because I feel that I can help students to succeed with my prior knowledge and experiences with teaching and education. I am familiar with teaching methods and have found out first-hand what works well with students, and I also have a wide array of knowledge due to the fact that I am an English major and a History minor. I feel as though tutoring will strengthen my teaching skills as I help students to succeed.
