Mary: Bloomington tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and reconnect with the joy of learning. Every student can succeed it's just a matter of finding the best approach for them.

My experience includes tutoring in reading, writing, and French across a wide range of ages, from young children to college students. I've worked with students one-on-one to strengthen their foundational skills, revise essays, prepare for exams, and improve language fluency. I especially enjoy helping students feel more at ease with material they've struggled with in the past by connecting it with individual learning needs and personal interests.

I'm earning a double major in Biology and French with a concentration in pre-health studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. I tutor in French, English, writing, and reading. French and writing are my favorite subjects to teach because they both allow for creativity and personal expression. Whether it's through storytelling, conversation practice, or helping someone shape their thoughts into a polished paper, I love watching students find their voice.

My tutoring style is goal-oriented, supportive, and flexible. I prioritize active learning and clear communication and always make space for students to ask questions, reflect, and feel heard. I take time to explain the "why" behind what we're doing because I believe deeper understanding leads to longer-lasting progress.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing tennis, spending time outdoors, and being involved in my campus and local communities. I believe learning should be empowering, and I'm excited to work alongside students to help them grow both inside and outside the classroom.
