Kara: Bradford tutor

Certified Tutor

I became interested in teaching children after I traveled to Costa Rica for two months to work on a turtle conservation. While I was there, I was able to educate local children about helping the environment through reforestation, recycling, and keeping the beaches clean. It was a wonderful experience and decided I wanted to help children in my own country. I began taking education classes at my local college and volunteering in elementary schools. I fell in love with teaching. I applied to University of Central Florida and now I will be graduating in May. I have been in two internships and the next 5 months will be my last one. I like being able to see why students are struggling in the classroom and using that one-on-one time to help students that need it. I believe students learn in various ways. My goal is to find the best ways to help my students make academic achievements and enjoy doing it. I think students need to be able to think about their own learning and set goals for themselves. This will challenge them and ultimately inspire them to reach their goals. I really enjoy tutoring in math but I am also experienced in reading. I will have my reading and ESOL endorsement upon graduation. I also have a personal love for reading and continue to read adolescent novels and picture books. I always have good recommendations.
