Hobbies
Hello there! I am thrilled to be a prospective tutor for your son or daughter! I love to work with kids of all ages ranging from Kinder to College Level and have experience working with all age groups. My speciality is Middle School students where I have the most experience. I enjoy the outdoors, reading, writing, history, art, science and doing things that involve all of the above! I am a teacher at heart and I want nothing more than to see a child succeed where they may need assistance. I am understanding and empathetic. I also have high expectations for my students and encourage them to be their best self, to keep trying, be patient, and most importantly, enjoy learning. When children love to learn, comprehension comes easily. I like to convey my passion for being a life long learner and a critical thinker. These are things that can most certainly be taught. My lesson plans are not typical work sheets and rigorous memorization, I believe children will learn more from using all their senses and grasp concepts if they are applied to real life situations. Learning should be fun, yet focused and tutoring should always provide results!
