Matthew B.
Private tutor in Whitman, MA
Education
English Major at University of Massachusetts, Boston. Graduated 2013, 3.8 GPA. Completed Creative Writing Honors Program.
Experience
My studies were focused mainly on creative writing, English composition, modern and postmodern literature, and literary criticism. I have also completed a number of courses in Classics (courses such as Roman Civilization, Golden Age of Athens, Bronze Age Aegean Archaeology), a detailed course on Medieval literature, and another on the history of the English language, for which I composed my own brief (>25 pages) history of English. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher, and while I have been told that I have a knack for instruction, I feel that tutoring is the best way to gauge my ability to facilitate learning.

Hobbies
My interests include games of strategy (Chess and the Civilization series wrestle for the #1 spot), music, film, and sport (mainly baseball). I am also quite interested in linguistics. The basic elements of language and communication are fascinating to me. Also, when I have the time and money to spare, I love to travel. I've been from Munich to Maui and I still don't feel like I've seen nearly enough of the world.
