Melanie R.
Private tutor in Sacramento, CA
Education
Music Performance Major at Sacramento State pursuing a Bachelor of Music, class of 2019. Former English Major at Southern Oregon University. Most recent GPA - 3.93.
Experience
2020 cumulative SAT score, AP test scores as listed: Biology - 5, Chemistry - 5, Government - 5, U.S. History - 5, English Lit - 4. I want to tutor because everyone learns differently, and I enjoy the process of finding and developing a system that works for each individual student. I take great personal satisfaction in helping someone reach their "aha" moment in understanding any given subject or concept. I am pursing a Bachelor of Music because I've found it's a passion of mine, but I also have two years of American and British English Literature classes under my belt. I specialize in essay writing, proofreading, editing, etc. I have also taken several Shakespeare classes and can walk a potential student through any play in his canon to understand the language and draw deeper meaning. I have enough experience through Advanced Placement science classes to walk someone through Chemistry and Biology concepts with ease, and 2 years of college-level Spanish in order to tutor high school Spanish 1-3.

Hobbies
In correlation with my English studies, I enjoy fiction and poetry writing and have participated in poetry slam competitions on the national level (as part of a college team). As far as my current field of study, I play Percussion (any instrument you play by hitting with your hands or a pair of sticks/mallets), and I love playing European classical music on the marimba. No matter what my eventual career turns out to be, I see myself performing in some capacity for the rest of my life.
