Kate B.
Private tutor in Jacksonville, FL
Education
I am a University of Florida graduate as of this past December. I majored in English, within the college of Fine Arts. My GPA was 3.7, and this was all while writing my own novels and short stories on the side. I am scheduled to be enrolled in a TOEFL class beginning in July so that I may be certified to teach English abroad.
Experience
I received fives on all three of my AP Literature and Composition classes in high school. I know many tricks for the English/Verbal sections on standardized testing. I have taken multiple Honors Seminars while at UF, including in creative writing, fiction writing, Chaucer, and Freud studies. I also have experience working with Shakespeare, especially "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Hobbies
As you can see, I mostly tutor English and Literature classes. It's always been fun for me to share the knowledge concealed in each book. The thing I love about literature is that there are many different perspectives on a single story, and as long as you can back up your perspective with evidence from the book, you can form a solid argument.
