...I was also a general tutor for the whole school after hours. I learned a great deal about the nuances of working with the students, their families, and the resources that were available to them. I also understand the different types of student learning. There is so much to keep track of and take care of when it comes to a child's education and I know I am up for that task!

I have tutored in both individualized and group settings for various purposes, including SAT test prep, supplemental learning, and as a primary teaching resource. To that end, I have endeavored to truly understand my students on a personal level to make sure that the way I am tutoring them is the best way for them to learn.

...about what a student needs to get there. Whether its working on the phrasing or analogy until I find the explanation that clicks with a student, utilizing artistic methods like visual arts or dance to help explain things, or finding ways to take the chore out of learning, I go above and beyond with my students. I think learning is fun as well and have a diverse range of interests from English and Literature, to...

...4, geometry, and precalculus. Because I most frequently had interaction with algebra and geometry, I am more confident with these subjects. Therefore, these may be my favorite subjects to tutor students. I mainly prefer to stick with textbooks when I tutor so students and I can have access to the material. Following the textbook works effectively when a student's goal is to raise their class grade. The textbook introduces approaches that teachers will likely use...

Throughout my time as both an undergraduate and graduate student, I have enjoyed teaching others and helping fellow students learn and understand new concepts.
