Pendle M.
Private tutor in Philadelphia, PA
Education
I graduated in 2014 from Swarthmore College with a BA in Sociology and Anthropology, and a minor in Spanish. I also have a High School Regents Arts Diploma in Creative Writing from the School of the Arts in Rochester, New York. 3.6/4.0 GPA. Outside of my major and minor areas of study, I have completed extensive coursework in Political Science and Education.
Experience
I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching children ranging in age from 8 to 16. On the SAT, I received a 720 for Reading, 630 for Math, and a 730 for Writing. Before college, I worked at an organization dedicated to teaching and fostering a love for creative writing within its students, working on everything from short story creation to poetry to playwriting. While at Swarthmore College, I worked as a teacher's aid in a 6th grade History classroom in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, as a classroom aid and observer in the Boston Public City School District, as an instructor at an after-school center for immigrant children in Madrid, Spain, and as an assistant teacher at a Mexican cultural center in South Philadelphia. I also privately tutored non-native English speakers in English as a Second Language while studying abroad in Madrid, mentored and taught children interested in Creative Writing, and provided supplementary Spanish tutoring for fellow students while at Swarthmore. I believe that good teaching promotes self-sufficiency, critical thinking, and curiosity among students, and that it is key to the struggle for social justice.
