Rebecca R.
Private tutor in Goleta, CA
Education
Freshman, Global Studies Major at University of California, Santa Barbara. My GPA is currently 3.49.
Experience
SAT writing: 670, SAT Critical Reading:680 OIB (Option-International Baccalaureate) scores: 16 (equiv. A+)-English/ 17 (equiv. A+) History, I would love to work as a tutor because I know that although a child may struggle within the classroom, attention and one on one help can make a world of difference. When I was a sophomore in high school and desperately needing help in physics, what made the difference between a failing and a passing grade was not just hard work, but the help of a tutor who was able to focus all his attention on my scholastic needs. I attended an international high school in the South of France and obtained my high school diploma with a OIB degree. The OIB is a very advanced academic exam taken at the end of senior year, and because of this exam I have a very strong work ethic. With this exam I took advanced courses in English literature, in which I was able to achieve very good writing skills including essay writing and creative writing,as well as history and geography, french and science classes. I am bilingual in French and English, am very well organized and have a very strong work ethic, as well as being extremely friendly, outgoing and open-minded.

Hobbies
I absolutely love reading and could spend days reading if I had the opportunity. I also love playing squash, and am very athletic. I love playing team-sports as a way to relieve stress and have a good time. I also am a huge fan of a lot of different types of music, especially old rock and roll and folksy music. I am a huge fan of Neil Degrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist, and Jon Stewart, a comedian. I am very outgoing and love meeting new people; having come from a very different and bi-cultural background, I love hearing stories about people's history.
