Faolan K.
Private tutor in Boston, MA
Education
Freshman at University of Massachusetts Boston, majoring in Psychology. Expected graduation year: 2019. Graduated in the top 20% on my high school class in 2014.
Experience
I was asked to be a tutor for kindergarten when I was in only second grade. In high school, I tutored fifth graders in math (the highlight being when I was told I "made math fun"). As a senior in high school, I would help younger students with their history work, both worksheets and open response questions. I scored above 2000 on my first try with the SATs, as well as scoring between 28 and 35 on all ACT subjects (the 35 was in reading and comprehension).

Hobbies
I was vice president of my high school's history club, and a member of the National History Day team that went all the way to the national competition level in Washington D.C. My strength is primarily my ability to explain why the answer is what it is. By teaching students the facts as simple declarations, schools take away the opportunity for students to have a deeper understanding of the material and form their own responses to concepts.
