Experience
I was a student tutor at UC San Diego in creative writing and also helped my peers learn how to write clear, concise essays. At UC San Diego I spent four years in intensive writing workshops including english grammar, journalism, personal narrative essays, travel writing, poetry, short fiction and publishing. I also took American, English and Spanish/Latin American literature courses. These workshops and courses taught me how to think critically about how we use language and writing to express our experiences, ideas and identity. I want to be a tutor because I love teaching and helping others learn how to express themselves through writing. My first few days in Italy, with a very basic knowledge of Italian, were alienating and I felt trapped by a desire to express myself in this new language, but not knowing how. I want to help people who are learning english as a second language to not experience this feeling and learn how to express themselves better in conversation and in writing.
