Elizabeth D.
Private tutor in Duxbury, MA
Education
graduate of Milton Academy, 2007 Senior International Studies Major at Colby College in Waterville, Maine
Experience
AP Literature/comp test: 4 ACT English: 34 ACT Reading: 32 Spanish classes have included 4 years at Milton Academy, up to Spanish level 4 3 years at Colby College, from level 126 until 297 ( I am planning on continuing in the fall as well) 3 immersion programs: Ecuador (1 month), CPI Costa Rica (1 month), SIT Chile (4 months) I love being able to teach other what I know. I love children and would be able to teach them a second language that will certainly come in handy later on in life. By having experiences first hand in Latin American countries, my spanish is not just from a book. Instead, I would be able to teach your child how to converse freely as well as write correctly. Along with my proficiency in Spanish, I am a graduate of Milton Academy, where English was quite a focus. I am more than proficient in grammar and writing forms and would be able to teach any child the rules and tricks of writing well. On top of that, being a native english speaker, I would be able to teach it as a second language, preferably with someone who already has a bit of english experience, or who speaks spanish. Study skills were quite important in boarding school, as well computer and organization skills. Should the need arise, I am more than willing to go through the steps of organizing, studying, and being more prepared for an intense academic environment such as a boarding school or college.

Hobbies
I am a singer at Colby College for an acapella group as well as the Colby College Chorale. On top of that, I have danced since I was 3, and continued to do so through college. I have 8 years experience with Jose Mateo Ballet Theater, as well as the Dance department at Milton. At Colby I have been in the Colby Dancers troop since freshman year. I am also interested in travel and new places. I have been a babysitter for years, for children of all ages, and it is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. While I work at a local restaurant, my goal is to go back to Latin America once I graduate to either volunteer or teach.
