Bachelors, International Politics and Economics, 2014 Graduate: Calumet College of Saint Joseph: Current Grad Student, Masters of Arts in Teaching, 2017

I am a graduate of Prairie View A&M University. I received my Bachelors of Liberal Arts and Sciences with a specialty in English and I am currently seeking to get my Master's in Education. Since graduation, I have worked in various classroom settings across the Houston and Spring Area. Through these opportunities, I have worked with students to enhance their knowledge and skills according to the state standards. In order to achieve this goal, I implemented many strategies such as small group instruction, one-on-one instruction, and engaging activities. I am very passionate about the process of reading and writing. I believe that today's youth struggle with comprehending what they read and being able to transfer that into coherent thoughts. My experience is that when this concept is introduced through familiar concepts, it is easier for the student to process. I find great pleasure in helping students tie those pieces together and become critical thinkers. I can't wait to join you on your journey!

I received my BA in Special Education and Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. My Master's is in Education - Administration and Supervision. I have worked with special education students all of my teaching career. I have also been in Special Education Administration as well as a High School principal. I believe each child should be taught where they are emotionally, mentally, and educationally.

I attended California State University Fullerton (CSUF) where I earned both of my Bachelors of Arts degrees in Psychology and in Women and Gender Studies. I graduated with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude. I continued my education at CSUF, where I am working toward my Master of Arts in Psychology.My teaching experience includes multiple teaching/graduate assistant positions, tutoring, and teaching at a local private school. As a teaching assistant and graduate assistant at CSUF, I created assignments, conducted lectures in class, and held teaching workshops with college students. I also held a position tutoring Statistics for undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Sociology. Last year, I taught middle and high school math and science at a local private high school.I am a math and social science tutor. I tutor in the following subjects: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I/II/College, Geometry, Arithmetic, Statistics (including AP and college level), Psychology, and Sociology. I believe I am a particularly effective Statistics instructor, as I excelled in advanced Statistics courses in the Department of Psychology, including Advanced and Multivariate Statistics. I also absolutely love teaching statistics because it offers us a way to turn real life phenomena into numbers that we can understand around the world. I also love teaching my subject area, Psychology, and ultimately would love to make a career of it.As a tutor, I apply psychological and educational concepts about learning. I always use positive reinforcement, consider different learning styles (i.e. visual, audio, etc.), and aim to keep students engaged by using real life examples that they can connect to. Learning requires engagement and I try to make math concepts more reachable for all students.Outside of school and teaching, I enjoy cooking, reading, catching up on television series, and enjoying the outdoors. Originally from San Diego, I am a loyal Chargers fan and love being close enough to my friends and family there.

I am interested in helping your student learn.

I have spent three years teaching students from varying ages math, science and English. My favorite subjects are English and science. I am currently majoring in Biology in Bates College, and plan to help and tutor more students.

Ever since I started my academic career, I have always had a passion for helping others succeed. As I have grown in my own fields, I have also gained a plethora of helpful ideas, tips, and strategies that have helped my clients succeed on their own. I specialize in the STEM fields, but I am also gifted in some of the fine arts. I am currently working toward obtaining my BS/MS in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. As a tutor, I will give my all to help each and every student not only do well in their current class or on the standardized exam they preparing for, but to give them the skills necessary to perform at high levels at every facet of their own academic careers.

I am a senior at George Fox University majoring in English and Spanish. I tutor SAT prep, Language Arts, and Spanish.For three semesters I have worked as a consultant in my university's writing center. I love helping students in all aspects of the writing process, from brainstorming to the final editing stages. My goal is to teach students to become confident, self-sufficient writers.I am available to tutor Spanish courses as well including high school Spanish I, II, III, and IV, as well as college level beginner and intermediate Spanish courses. We will work together not only to perfect grammatical concepts and implement new vocabulary but also to practice circumlocution and improve conversational fluency.

I have been, in some fashion, a music educator since I was 14. I started teaching music at the Songcatchers Inc. Program in New Rochelle as a volunteer in 2000 and have been passionate about it ever since, ultimately turning it into my career when I finished Undergrad at Eastman/ U of R in 2008. During my last semester there, as well as any break that saw me returning home to New Rochelle, NY, I continued to teach music in any capacity that I could - private lessons and schools, charter schools, teaching agencies, camps, etc. Since 2008, I have hosted more than 8 studio recitals for my students and run myself as a business, seeking to musically educate as many people as I can.I strongly believe music and frankly all mediums of art are woven into the fabric of who we are as human beings, and a valuable resource for us in achieving a truly enlightened society. Despite this, music and art are all too frequently the first curricula cast aside by public schools and even in general. This has always struck me as incredibly short sighted given that music especially, gives students of all ages a chance to hone multiple intelligences/skills at once (motor coordination, language, visual perception, auditory perception, etc.). So I guess in a sense I am trying to balance the scales with my chosen career. Additionally, in recent years I've become passionate about discussing and planning long term musical goals with high school age students. For example, I've had students apply to and achieve admission to schools like SUNY Purchase and Berklee, under my guidance and accompaniment.In short, I relish any opportunity to bring personal development and joy to anyone, especially open minds. Now, more than ever, it is so vital. So too, will I relish the opportunity to work for you, if it is given.

My biography would be incomplete if I didn't begin with my life before teaching. I am a 60 year old widow who did not begin my teaching career until I was 41 years old. Before that, I was married and in Atlanta as a professional stage actor with big plans for an even larger career. I was perfectly content living with my husband and acting, when he got a job with Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow.This was life-changing for both of us. My husband was a valued employee at the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change for the five years before his death. The experience of getting to know Mrs. King and her family, particularly Yolanda King, as well as many of the great Civil Rights leaders of the 1950s and 60s greatly influenced my worldview. I read many of King's books and sermons, finding myself inspired by his words; inspired to see how we can and should use our lives to improve the world.After my husband's death in an accident, I was disoriented and confused about what I wanted to do with my life for a long time. Theater and acting didn't consume me like they did before. The idea of finding more meaning and making the world a better place kept pushing me to think differently. After a few years of working with Georgia and Mississippi's artist-in-residence programs as a drama instructor, director and writer, I realized that I wanted to teach full-time.This meant I had to go back to college and take all of the math and science courses I avoided the first time around. I spent a year at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque working on finishing my bachelor's degree. Then, when my father became ill with terminal cancer, I returned to Georgia and enrolled in The University of Georgia in Athens.It wasn't particularly easy being a 33 year old student in college with 18 and 19 year olds. It was often lonely, but I can honestly say that I felt my late husband with me, guiding me through this new territory. I learned so much from him, I'll always be grateful.When my father died from cancer, I went back to acting for a short time and also worked for a while as a Pre-K teacher. Then I returned to UGA and finished my degree at the age of 40. I then started my teaching career in Fayette County, Georgia at Sandy Creek High School. I taught Drama and Speech and Communications the first two years. Then I became certified to teach English because they cut my teaching position in Drama. I taught English for two years, but I soon had to leave because my mother had a stroke.I had to move in with her and help her recuperate. While I was home, I taught a year at South Hall Middle School in Gainesville, GA. I didn't return after that year because I wanted to return to high school teaching.This year would have been my 14th year at Hart County High School, in N. E. Georgia, if it hadn't been for the Coronavirus. My 90 year old mother lives with me. Her health is frail; there is no way I could continue to teach in a school where students weren't required to wear masks and then come home to her. It was just too dangerous, so I left.I am thrilled that I will be able to continue to teach here with Varsity Tutors. It means the world to me to continue to try to better my little corner of the world.
