Shelby: Henrico County tutor
Certified Tutor
My name is Shelby LaBonte-Torres, and I am a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in History and English and Master's degrees in History and Library Science. With over 10 years of experience in tutoring and teaching at various levels, I specialize in AP Human Geography, AP US History, US History, World History, World Geography, and English for middle and high school students. My teaching philosophy centers on creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences that connect historical concepts to contemporary life. I believe that history and literature are not just subjects, but vital tools for understanding the world. I strive to make these subjects accessible and enjoyable, helping students discover their strengths while overcoming challenges. Outside of teaching, I enjoy exploring diverse cultures through travel and literature, which informs my teaching and enriches my students' learning experiences.
