Mary Emma
Certified Tutor
I'm a recent graduate from Vanderbilt University, where I obtained my Masters of Education in Learning and Design, and a Bachelors degree from Southwestern University in Education and English.
As a young student I found tutors to be immensely helpful in achieving success, so I know how important finding the right fit can be. I have experience tutoring, teaching, and mentoring students from ages 13 and up- though most of my recent experience is with college students.
My favorite subjects to tutor are English and History, because I believe those are subjects where it's easy to help students find themselves within the subject matter. My teaching philosophy can be summed up as meeting students where they are at: to me, the key to student success lies in connection. Connection to instructors, to the content material, and to their own identities.

Outside of the classroom I enjoy baking, crocheting, sewing, and over-analyzing the shows my roommate and I watch. I am a huge fan of interdisciplinary thought, however, so I often bring these interests into academia as well!
