Experience
I have extensive knowledge of philosophy, creative writing, poetry, grammar, essay preparation, efficient reading skills, sociology, basic French, Sanskrit, basic psychology, religious studies etc. I have taken the GRE-s and would be very helpful in preparing for both the written and verbal portions of that test. I know much about the academic system and would be useful to consult with respect to potential career paths and at which universities they might be best pursued.
