Travis S.
Private tutor in Chicago, IL
Education
BA in Creative Writing at Northwestern University
Experience
I have previous Verbal ACT/SAT/Homework tutoring experience with Compass Education in Los Angeles, CA. During my time with Compass I completed an extended, rigorous training program, and ultimately helped to significantly boost many students' ACT and SAT scores, including in one instance helping a student progress from a 23 to a 33 in ACT Reading, and from a 25 to a 31 Composite Score. I also have experience in after-school tutoring for elementary school students as a volunteer at 826 Echo Park, a highly renowned non-profit national tutoring center. My own test-taking experience includes multiple AP tests, with a score of 5 in AB Calculus, English Literature, and Psychology, among others. I also scored a 33 on the ACT, with a perfect 12 on the Essay Section. Other items that particularly qualify me as an English/Essay Writing tutor include having multiple short stories published in national literary magazines. I also have experience ghostwriting Young Adult novels for a transmedia subsidiary of Miramax Films.
