Samantha D.
Private tutor in Durham, NH
Education
I am a current graduate student and TA at UNH studying Creative Writing. As a TA, I teach freshmen writing and composition. Additionally, I am a graduate of the College of William and Mary, with degrees in English and Religious Studies. I graduated as a Monroe Scholar, and was recognized for my academic and social achievement as a student speaker at the College's commencement ceremonies.
Experience
I currently work as a teaching assistant for UNH. I've worked as a peer educator, and in varying informal educational settings in the past. I really enjoy working with students and seeing their writing and enjoyment of literature progress! I received 800 level scores in SAT Reading and 780 scores in SAT Writing. In addition to my work in tutoring and teaching, I have worked for the Appalachian Mountain Club, and worked in Washington, DC, managing communications for an influential nonprofit.

Hobbies
I feel so fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the country, so close to the White Mountains! I enjoy hiking, cycling, kayaking, camping - the usual range of outdoor activities. During the weekends, I'll often take my students' essays up to the Whites to grade - I find nature incredibly inspirational and restorative. In my free time, I also enjoy writing and submitting my own work, exploring the local area, and baking.
