About Gracie
Hi there, my name is Gracie Jacobs. I am a current college freshman at K-State studying Elementary Education. I am offering my tutoring skills to anyone needing help with English, reading, writing, or ACT/SAT prep for the English sections. Some background information on me is that I really do love to read and write which is why I want to be a tutor for it. I began tutoring for students in English classes when I was in middle school before continuing in high school. All throughout high school, I was in advanced English classes including AP and college classes while earning a 4 on the AP American Literature exam and I scored a 35 on the reading section of the ACT and a 32 on the writing section. I also have experience tutoring for these sections of the AP exam which I did in the spring of my senior year for current juniors. I have years of tutoring experience for all ages and I am also a very enthusiastic teacher. I love English and really work to make sure all of my students have the necessary skills needed to excel in classes, on tests, and just life in general when it comes to these topics.
