Experience
-I've been a tutor with the Sylvan Learning Center Writing program for about 4 years now -Every single one of my students have dramatically improved their writing abilities through their reading/writing SAT/ACT scores, grades, papers, essays, comprehension, GPA, and general knowledge of the subjects! -Some of my students have said that they will vouch for how thorough, personal, and sincere my tutoring is once they found out I've taken to the internet :) -Due to my major/minor, I have taken extensive and incredibly difficult classes with a primary focus on writing, reading, and communication skills. I have only grown to become an even better student, teacher, comprehensive reader, effective writer, and communicator through these challenging courses. -In high school, I was a part of the National Honors Society. -2130 SAT score (I attend ASU for financial reasons even though my test scores could get me into just about any university in the state of North Carolina) -4.3 weighted HS GPA -AP US History-A, AP European History-B, AP Psychology-A, AP English (junior year and senior year)-A, and AP Sociology-A.

Hello and welcome all! My name is Sierra, and I am a true believer in happiness being the key to success. I know what it's like to struggle academically, financially, and even with personal relationships due to all sorts of reasons. However, each and every one of my struggles has only led me to become a stronger person both academically and personally. I will always be 100% honest with you. I will give you me all to make you the most successful student and person you can be. Every person on this earth has untapped potential, and I am here to make sure you take full advantage of yours to ensure that you have the best life and brightest future possible. I have four younger brothers, ages 9, 10, 13, and 17. My 10 and 13-year-old brothers both have ADHD, so I know how hard it is to hone in all that bubbly energy onto simple tasks such as homework and studying. I've learned many tips and tricks through my tutoring with them, and it would be my honor to share them with you. I love them more than anything in this world, and it is my greatest duty to help them strive in their academics. My 17-year-old brother just received an academic scholarship to Clemson University! I, too, have been fortunate enough to have received an academic scholarship to my university. While college does not determine someone's self-worth or success, it is definitely one of the greatest opportunities you can allow yourself to have. I can't wait to get to know you! -Sierra
