More About This Tutor...

I feel very passionate about education and learning. I think the key to teaching is to engage students, and make content interesting and relevant to their lives. I truly believe that the ideal teaching situation is via one-on-one instruction, because I feel students understand the content better, they can work at their own pace, and they feel comfortable asking questions. I am dedicated to providing all students an equal education, and I am comfortable working with students from diverse social and economic backgrounds. I think education is the key to empowerment.
For the past two years, I was the high school English teacher in a small, rural Alaskan village located on the Yukon River. This teaching position was very challenging--I had to teach several subjects, such as English, social studies, geography, art, keyboarding, drama, journalism, and digital photography. Since the ... read more

I believe all children can do well at school if they are taught correctly. Every child learns differently and it is the job of the teacher to find the style that works for the student. Some students use verbal cues to learn while others visual, hands on or a variety of other approaches. The better we teach the children today the better the future is for everyone.

A Little Bit About Me...

With a bachelor degree in Child development and minor in psychology. I have learned a great deal about children and how they learn. In addition, to studying the field I have had over 6 years of experience working with the educational needs of children. I tutor students K-8 in math, reading, social studies, and science.
I have a deep passion for tutoring. Education in my opinion is an opportunity for children to learn problem solving skills that are necessary for everyday life. I have a strong belief in self discovery and I think that every student should be given the opportunity to discover things for his/her self. Teachers and tutors are there for guidance through the process. As an experience tutor I will bring a positive attitude to your company. Children pick up on the attitudes of the adults around them and its important as a role model for them to see that you enjoy ... read more

I believe that creating a warm learning environment and a good relationship with a student is the first step to successful learning. When a student trusts and respects their teacher, they feel safe to make mistakes, which is a wonderful way to learn. I believe that each child has his or her own learning style and way of making connections in order to create a deep understanding. I work hard to foster each of my students learning by keying into their personal way of retaining and comprehending information. I realize that learning something new can be frustrating if it isn’t coming easy. Children need to have an understanding supporter that will help them see their small achievements in order to build their confidence and achieve great heights.

A Little Bit About Me...

During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!
I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.

I began 'teaching' as the head wakeboarding instructor at Coble Ski School in Lillington, NC, when I was a junior in high school. Shortly thereafter I took a position working at a beach resort in Pensacola, FL, where I spent an entire summer instructing surfing, kayaking and sailing. At Duke I tutored during each of my four years, either biweekly at a local Durham elementary school or at the Emily K Family Life Center. It is there where I tutored once weekly as a senior, up until I graduated in May. I have tutored in all subjects and all ages up through 22.
When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their fav ... read more

As a published writer, experienced editor, children's camp counselor and mom, I welcome the opportunity to -- once again -- share my skills. After being sought out as a trusted source for my expertise by professional copywriters as well as family and friends, I look forward to helping students of all ages. When not writing or editing, I am also a classically trained pianist. I've played for hundreds of shows, singers and dancers, including camps, schools, and the North Carolina Theatre.
I take pride in my own writing style as well as my patience and a sense of humor. All enable me to empathize and better understand the needs of the individual seeking my help.
