i am pretty relaxed and informal, but I expect students to do the work assigned. I help, but I don't do the work for them. I use Socratic questioning to get students to understand the material. I stress learning concepts and building on them as opposed to memorizing or guessing enough to pass a test. I received a BS in Horticulture from Va.

I am not your typical tutor. Rather than doing rote exercises, I focus on methodically helping them develop tools and skills so that they eventually no longer need my services. I do quite a bit of advanced preparation, often with customized activities (that you are typically not charged for) and my time with your child is hands-on and engaging. My style grows their confidence and excitement about the learning process so they can leverage their strengths with new tools and skills to quickly advance beyond any hurdles that have been getting in their way of excelling in school or any specific subject area. I offer a complimentary consultation where ideally we can review work samples / testing results of your child(ren), discuss goals, concerns, etc. and have some time to meet your chid(ren) to learn their personality, interests, preferences and do some quick assessments as to their natur

I havent had any exsperince with people outside of school and family but I found out that my ways of learning are very helpful and I think I can provide them to children who need helpin any subject.

I graduated from Ronald Reagan High School with a 4.6 GPA in the second graduating class ('08), then went on the NC State University to study Engineering, where I jumped in between various Engineering programs for three years before simply deciding to take a break and truly figure out what I want to study. While this may deter several people from choosing me, I know that if you met me and/or any of my teachers from any grade level, they/I could certainly set the record straight, as I am quite a smart person, I have simply struggled with getting my life into an appropriate schedule. This is because between high school, my extra curriculars (captain of the drumline for three years and a captain of the lacrosse team for three years), and my parents, my life was completely structured for me, so what little free time I had was easy to budget, this is not the case in high school.

My teaching style varies from student to student. I like to get to know the student in order to maximize their understanding of the subject. Everybody does learn differently, so I am open to change for that said student. To be honest I do not really have any experience of being a tutor. I am a senior at Reagan High school and for the most part I tutor other classmates and family members. Mostly recently I broaden my range to elementary to high school. I do very well in mathematics except for geometry, Pre-cal, abd calculus because i am not registered for those classes. I'm also good in science.

I studied creative writing at the SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville SC. There I studied poetry, play writing, grammar, editing, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

I am compassionate, patient, and sincere. I employ various teaching styles depending on the age and needs of the student. For college and high school students, I ask that students bring their textbooks as well as notes to each session. I often prepare example questions for material similar to that tested on an exam. Not only does this allow the student with an opportunity to practice additional problems in areas that are weak, but also ensures that the student fully comprehends the information. When tutoring younger children, I believe active learning is best because many children are visual and/or kinesthetic learners. I tutor children using methods that best match his/her learning style. As a recent graduate from the College of William & Mary, I have earned a bachelor’s degree (BS) in Neuroscience and a minor in Biochemistry. As a tutor for four years, I have tutored both college athle
