More About This Tutor...

Although I started my association with education as a teacher assistant for special education, I quickly grew to love the field and pursued my licensure in special education. I have worked as a teacher for learners with autism within the self-contained setting and I currently provide special education services for students in a resource setting.
While the majority of my instruction is direct and explicit, I find that many times, my students thrive on working problems out by indirect questioning. They find themselves empowered and feel a part of their own education when they are led to the correct response.

I have always loved learning and have earned several degrees in Psychology (BA), Art (AA), Spanish (Minor) and Psychometry (Tests and Measurement) (EdS) and continue to educate myself (School Psychology, PhD candidate), all of which have centered around learning and instruction. In addition, having worked in the schools for over 6 years has allowed me to learn the process by which many teachers instruct and I have developed a repertoire of helpful strategies and interventions that are based in scientific research. As part of my job in the public schools I have an extensive knowledge of tests and evaluations as well as experience working with students with unique learning styles.
I have children of my own and have always enjoyed experiencing learning through their eyes and observing the different ways in which they learn. I am comfortable working with all age ranges and can accommo ... read more

My style of teaching will correlate with the learning style of the student. I love teaching and working with students. I develop a good rapport with the student, am patient, flexible, understanding, and empathetic to the challenges learning in today's society can bring. I enjoy working with a student to develop and reach their goals to enhance their sense of self-worth, capabilities, and skills-base they already possess unknowingly. I believe that all children can learn at their own pace and can feel a sense of accomplishment to further their educational or career dreams.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Biology, Magna Cum Laude. As an undergrad, I also participated in community services to serve the surrounding area.

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.
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!

More About This Tutor...

In the course of my experiences and education, I have demonstrated my motivation, energy, and passion for caring and helping in an educational setting. I spent a semester as a full time volunteer teacher in two Head Start classrooms; and tutored middle school students my senior year of college. Both of these experiences has taught me patience, understanding, and effective tutoring techniques. As a human development major, I feel attuned to the mental health issues and developmental needs that students face.
I have a passion for the subject matter that I teach, as did my most effective teachers in the past. It is important to care about what you are teaching and try to incorporate elements that the learner will find interesting. I want to motivate my students and envoke that same passion to utilize all of their learning tools. I am patient and understanding.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 favorite subjects) to try to encourage them to speak freely with me about what they're thinking. Then, after personal rapport is established, I begin my academic approach to tutoring by finding out how they think based on their interests or common themes, and I try to connect the material to these things. Children have trouble learning, often because the addressed concepts don't relate to their lives. I strive to connect the material to them, demonstrate its influence on their interests, and allow them to greet the academic engagement as some sort of useful tool, not a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that it is my role, as a teacher, to facilitate a love for learning within all students. By appealing to their interest, in the context of the work we are doing, and allowing them to invest in their own education I hope to create life long learners. I believe in setting goals and expectations and meeting the student where they are then working together to meet those goals. I also believe in differentiating my instruction to better fit the student I am working with, not every student learns the same way and I need to cater to all student individual needs to better help them achieve.Whether in a classroom or a personal setting it is my goal to help student find their passion for learning so that the motivation to learn is intrinsic for their lives.
I have completed all of my course work for the teacher development program at the University of Missouri in Middle School Langu ... read more
