Gabrielle: Birmingham tutor

Certified Tutor

I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Sociology. Later this year, I will be pursuing a Master's of Education at graduate school so that I can become officially certified as a teacher in Arizona. In the summer of 2014, I tutored a 2nd grade girl and a 3rd grade girl in topics ranging from negative numbers, multiplication, and division to synonyms, antonyms, and early essay-writing. I tutor elementary math, a variety of English subjects such as essay editing, grammar, literature, reading, and writing, as well as test prep for lower-level ISEE, elementary-level SSAT, and SAT Verbal. Since my current career dream is to teach English, I like tutoring the English-related topics the most. I particularly enjoy the process of helping students with their essay editing and essay writing. When I teach, my goal is to help the student learn how to do something on their own as effectively as possible without making the learning process unpleasant. My hobbies largely consist of reading and keeping up with a number of television shows. My favorite genre is fantasy, but I also find science fiction and thrillers engaging. I'm quite the geek: I attend Phoenix Comicon every year.
