Valerie: Greenburgh tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration with a focus on management and accounting. My passion for helping students comes from a desire to support others in achieving their goals and gaining confidence in subjects that may initially feel difficult. I've had the opportunity to assist classmates in group projects, tutor middle school students and make brief tutoring plans.

I tutor a range of subjects, including Language, History, Geography, and Public Speaking. I'm most passionate about History and Geography. These subjects bring together stories, cultures, and events that shape our modern world, and I enjoy helping students explore them in a meaningful and accessible way.

My teaching philosophy centers around patience, curiosity, and active participation. I believe learning should feel like a journey of discovery, not just memorization. My tutoring style is interactive and adaptive. I like using visual aids, timelines, and maps to help students engage with the material and develop a deeper understanding.

Outside of academics, I enjoy drawing, exploring cultural documentaries, traveling, and learning about different languages and traditions. These interests fuel my love for History and Geography and constantly inspire me to bring real-world perspectives into tutoring sessions.
