Experience Summary
My history of experience equips me with the skills to tutor children and teens in reading and writing. While earning a degree in fine arts, I gained much experience in writing about my work as well as writing critically about other artists' work. Later, I spent a year teaching grammar school children in after-school programs, helping them with homework and facilitating creative projects. I also spent a summer successfully tutoring an autistic teen in reading, writing and history. I was raised by a mother who was a dedicated and innovative educator and so have come to strongly value education as a means to wellness in life.
Teaching Style
My disposition is professional and conscientious yet patient, warm and enthusiastic. I have an easy rapport with children and teens. I enjoy the challenge of discovering the unique ways that each individual student learns and adapting my teaching style accordingly. I believe that every student is intelligent and can enjoy learning when they find the ways that work best for them. My goal is to make education interesting and fun while fostering confidence and motivation in the student.
