...can be. I graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Psychology, and I am beginning a Master of Fine Arts program in Theatre for Youth and Communities at Arizona State University in Fall 2020. I tutor a variety of subjects, but some of my favorites are Spanish, algebra, writing, and test prep. Watching students grow as learners and as people motivates me to continue my work as a tutor.

...do them in my head... I'm there! Science for me is always a hot topic, whether talking or listening. I've been told I should be a teacher, but I don't really like classrooms, so here I am tutoring. I've mentored countless high school and college students in science (Physics, General Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy & Physiology) and math (Arithmetic, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Statistics), and I'm here to share my gift.

...have a particular passion for science and social studies, I truly enjoy teaching all subjects and helping students find excitement in learning. My teaching philosophy centers around creating an inclusive, supportive, and engaging classroom where students feel safe to explore, make mistakes, and grow.

...well as Calculus 1 and 2. I also enjoy tutoring elementary, junior high school, and high school level students in ALL subject matter. I have a deep understanding of these core subjects and promote learning from the fundamentals. My goal as a tutor is to not only teach difficult subject matter, but also to promote students to think critically and problem solve so that they develop the skills to be independent studiers.... My teaching philosophy is...

...personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an engaging style to ensure they do not tune me out. I have three very bright children of my own that keep me on my toes helping them with high school level math, reading and physics.

...provided me extensive expertise in biology, genetics, biostatistics, coding, and history. My work integrates these fields to uncover the complex interactions between humans and their microbes, giving me a unique interdisciplinary perspective. In addition to my research, I have led graduate-level workshops in Python and R, helping students and researchers alike develop essential coding skills for data analysis and scientific inquiry. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Arizona State University, working in the College...

...we are learning new ways of thinking, logic, and the means to solve problems. At times those methodologies seem foreign to us due to their approach. Finding alternative approaches helps us all in moving forward, assimilating information, and mastering problems. I aim to arm those that I work with many tools in their approach to a given subject matter. These tools can be applied throughout the curriculum and further into the future.... I don't look at...

...from grad school. I have a BBA (Bachelors of Business Administration) in Marketing from Howard University and a Masters of Marketing from Vanderbilt University, so I am a proud Bison & Commodore! While my degrees are in marketing and my academic history is strong in the sciences and humanities, I've put all of my tutoring focus into reading and writing for the youth. I was once a student impacted by COVID-19 and I saw first-hand,...

...those subjects can be and how enjoyable it is to learn. I've been tutoring my friends, peers, and neighbors since I was in high school all the way until I graduated from ASU this year with a bachelor in Conservation Biology. I'm most comfortable teaching biology, chemistry, physics, math, and history, and I believe that the purpose of a tutor is not to do the student's homework, but to teach them to do it themselves.

...but working with my dog at my feet. The world is different now, and so has my teaching style. The vibe teaching from home is different and quiet, until my kids get home from school. In addition to teaching, I'm an actor and director. This year, I'm going to be acting in THE LARAMIE PROJECT and JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT. I'll be directing MOANA and THE JUNGLE BOOK over the summer. Teaching is...

...a special education paraeducator and teacher. I am currently working as a substitute teacher. I enjoy tutoring because I have always felt I was able to make the biggest impact as an educator working either one-on-one or with small groups of students. I have experience teaching virtually with Head Start, as a kindergarten teacher, and with overseas students learning English. In my spare time I like to read, travel, and hang out with my cat...

...experiences helped me to relate to students individually and teach with their interests and personality in mind. In preparation to teach 5th and 1st grade, I was formally trained in current teaching strategies for all subjects. I received additional, focused training on Phonics, which made reading my favorite subject to teach. Besides being a proud wife and mother, I enjoy varied hobbies such as cooking, yoga, hiking, architectural design, and learning the Portuguese language.

...natural born problem solver. I love solving problems, especially abstract ones requiring creativity and imagination. I think it is the challenge of pulling from all of your life experiences and knowledge to come up with a solution that works. I think the key for success is having enough patience to keep ones imagination at work long enough to come up with a solution. I believe every problem has a solution, sometimes many. 'It is often...

...Degree in Early Childhood Studies from California State University. Then, I continued my education to receive my Master's in Special Education from Grand Canyon University. Since graduation, I have been in the Special Education field as a Resource Teacher, teaching students from K-8. I primarily teach 4th and lower grade Math. I am a strong believer in all students deserve to get the education they need and deserve, no matter what level they are at.

...2 to 12. I am currently a certified teacher in Arizona and hold a master's degree in elementary education from Arizona State University. I have been a classroom teacher, an administrator, and an instructional coach. When beginning a learning journey, I meet students where they are and build upon their strengths. I love the 1:1 and small group interaction that tutoring offers and the incredible growth that I can watch students make. I look forward...

...allows me to have the personal satisfaction of a one to one relationship with a learner. Hearing a student got a greatly improved score on a test or aced a reading or writing assignment gives me great satisfaction as a teacher. I enjoyed my years in the classroom and look forward to returning some day to that environment but find that I truly enjoy teaching in small intimate groups of 1-4 students. When I teach...

...Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. I've been on academic probation and truly understand what it's like to struggle with material. That struggle helps me to be a better teacher. I start medical school this fall, which goes to show that it does not matter if you have a difficult start. What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome them.

...to get an Environmental Science Degree. Tutoring is something I have always been passionate about- I want to help others get a better understanding of a topic and help them succeed. While I tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about History, English, and Literature. I believe in education wholeheartedly, and I am willing to work hard with students so they can not only succeed, but have a greater appreciation for the subject at hand.

If you want it bad enough, you will find a way to get there. I'm a writer, with three traditionally published mysteries and a children's book. Currently I have a TV pilot and political thriller at market. I've coached a government agent, former NYPD SWAT, and a former Navy Chief, write fictional stories they wanted to tell. I can help you, too.

...curious person, and learning has come naturally to me. I love understanding the "why" behind things. However, I understand that not everyone shares this passion. Some people need help, and I think that personalized tutoring is the best way to do that. Using the knowledge that I have gained through my undergraduate studies at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and my professional experience at Raytheon Technologies and Amazon, I want to help students further themselves in math,...
