Read More About Yatanya T...

I really love kids and I enjoy working with them. Throughout my years of experience, I have worked with students of all ages, from pre-school to adults. I understand that each person has their own unique style of learning, and I pride myself on being able to reach each student.
I attended Whitney Young High School and began tutoring while in school as a part of my volunteer service with the National Honor Society. I continued to teach while in college, and in fact, worked as a tutor part time. After college, I moved to Japan for one year and worked as an English teacher. When I returned to the United States, while attending law school, I was employed as a tutor for the LLM students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the role of a teacher is to capture the curiosity of students by providing them with lessons and activities that require them to think outside of the box.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a dance instructor for almost 7 years, and I have worked with children of all ages, temperaments and learning styles. I believe this flexibility and experience will make me a fantastic tutor, as I can adapt to the various needs of different students. I believe that students should learn through experience. I also strongly believe that every student should be given a chance for a wonderful education and not left behind simply because they are not understanding as quickly as their fellow students might be. I am a very patient, friendly and compassionate person, and my goal as a future educator is to instill a sense of trust and respect between my students and myself to ensure the best possible experience for both parties.
Throughout my life, I have always dedicated myself completely to whatever task I take on. This quality has helped me earn a bachelor degree in Kinesiolo ... read more
