Reading Comprehension Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Brookfield, CT

Currently, I work as a Museum Assistant at the Yager Museum of Art & Culture in Oneonta, New York. As a museum assistant, I perfect my verbal communication skills, anticipate others' wants and needs, and take initiative in assisting museum visitors. I've also lent my creativity and excellent writing to The Mommy Dash and Hilltops, or Hartwick College's newspaper.

I have tutored children for three years in such subjects as English, math, and science. If given the chance, I believe I can help your child become a stronger student. I focus more on individual progress th
