Duray: Waterbury tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's in Computer Information Science from the University of Michigan - Dearborn and over two years of experience helping students succeed in subjects like public speaking, math, and language arts. I believe every student learns differently, so I focus on finding what works best for themwhether that's using visuals, interactive tools like Kahoot, or audio-based methods. I've worked with a wide range of students, from elementary schoolers at the Center of Hope Family Services to college students building a Cyber Physical Systems repository. This has taught me how to adjust my teaching style to fit different needs. What motivates me most is seeing students grow, gain confidence, and realize they're capable of more than they thought.

Hobbies

I love helping students learn in fun, engaging ways—whether it’s through hands-on activities or games like Kahoot. I'm always curious about new educational technologies and enjoy building small coding projects just to see what I can create. Strategy-based video games are my go-to for unwinding and sharpening my critical thinking. I also enjoy writing and public speaking, especially when I get to talk about confidence, growth, and connection. Giving back is important to me, so I volunteer with youth programs that support digital literacy. Outside of work, you’ll often find me on a long walk, exploring nature, or just taking time to reset with some mindfulness.
