  <experience>I'm Elijah and I'd love to tutor!  I've done paid private tutoring for SAT Writing, mainly through word-of-mouth.  I'm also currently a writing tutor at the Student Learning Center at UC Berkeley.  At this time I'd like to expand that to anything related to writing, English literature, critical reading/analysis, and music, another interest I have.  

I feel that sharing knowledge with others is an important part of my experience in college, so I would be excited and honored to be a tutor.  I've been writing all my life (if you don't count my first three years), and I would love to share this passion with anyone who needs a little help, perhaps articulating/organizing an essay, or studying for a test/written exam, or formulating ideas or writing skills.  I'm patient and understanding, and I interact closely especialy in a one-on-one session, so there shouldn't be worries about being nervous or awkward!

I've also helped high school students feel comfortable with college through coordinating work with the orientation programs through the Alumni Scholars Association: Berkeley Experience Program and Overnight Stay Program - I'm approachable and friendly.

Here are my scores:
SAT Reasoning: 2280
SAT Subjects:
- Math II: 790
- Biology M: 770
- U.S. History: 740
AP Tests:
- AP English Literature: 5
- AP Psychology: 5
- AP Calculus BC: 5
- AP Economics (Micro): 5
- AP Economics (Macro): 5
- AP US History: 5
- AP Biology: 5
- AP Physics B: 4
- AP Spanish Language: 4

Regarding my writing experience, here are some quick stats:

- Winner of Palo Alto Short Story Competition
- Short story selected and published in Stanford Anthology for Youth
- 2 plays produced at UC Berkeley
- Play read at Bay Area Playwright's Festival
- Musical to be produced by Ariel Dance Productions this spring

Musically:

- Piano: 11 years, Certificate of Merit program completed, Panel participant, National Guild High School Diploma and National Member
- Trumpet: 9 years, wind ensembles and jazz bands, including UC Berkeley Jazz Combo
- Guitar: 3 years, self-taught
- Songwriting: Composed a variety of songs, as well as a children's musical
