I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!

I am a two-time graduate of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, receiving a bachelor's degree in English in 2008 and a master's degree in secondary education in 2009. Since graduation, I have worked teaching high school English and coaching wrestling in a relatively poor and rural district just south of Richmond. Though I am fully qualified and capable of tutoring any subject related to English, one of the things I have enjoyed the most success with as a teacher is preparation for standardized tests. I also very much enjoy teaching British literature and the writing process. There is no better feeling to me than seeing the gratitude in a student's face when he or she exceeds expectations and can go on to complete the next step in his or her educational journey. Outside of teaching, I am a rabid baseball fan (Let's go, Mets!), I love going to concerts, and I enjoy hanging out with my cats.

I'm a dedicated business professional, experienced mentor, and someone who truly loves helping others learn and succeed. I'm currently pursuing my B.S.B.A. in Business Administration (Management) with a Minor in Leadership Studies at the University of Central Florida, where I'm scheduled to graduate this upcoming May and have accepted an offer to continue my career in the Finance industry. During my studies, I've built a strong foundation in subjects such as management, leadership, business strategy, communication, and analytical problem-solving. I've gained hands-on experience through jobs at Lockheed Martin and The Bank of New York, where I learned to break down complex ideas, stay organized, and adapt to different learning styles. I've also led and taught others through various leadership roles, coached students, and guided teams through exams and competitions. My tutoring style is patient, clear, and goal-oriented. I'm here to help you build a strong understanding, confidence, and lasting study skills.

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's in Policy Studies from Lafayette College, I have experience helping students excel in subjects such as ACT preparation, Algebra, AP U.S. Government, Politics, and English Grammar. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions and explore complex concepts. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and my goal is to tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I am passionate about fostering academic success and inspiring a love for learning, which I achieve through engaging lessons and constructive feedback. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources to enhance my teaching methods.

Haley graduated from the University of North Georgia with two bachelor's degrees in English Writing & Publication and Interdisciplinary Studies (Mathematics/Technology, Social Science, and Humanities concentrations), and an associate's degree in Psychological Science (2020). Previously, she completed an associate's in Communication, Film & Digital Media Studies (2016). While at UNG, she worked as a Writing Center Peer Consultant, Supplemental Instruction Facilitator, English Department Student Administrative Assistant, Writing Fellow, and Ambassador for the Center for Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities (in addition to programming stimulus displays for EEG experiments in the neuroscience lab). Her major fields of study are supplemented by three minors: Linguistics, Psychology, and Studies of English Language Learning. Combined, this background enables a flexible tutoring approach that can be customized to meet the needs of both additional-language learners and individuals facing cognitive challenges. Haley Shea is currently pursuing graduate-level education in cognitive science, conducting neuroscientific laboratory research in psycholinguistics and brain-computer interface, and training for a career in human-computer interaction. During college, her top subjects were Advanced English Grammar and Linguistics. There, she was known for her passionate leadership of study sessions for sentence-diagramming, which inspired her laboratory research. An active community member, she was Vice President of the English Honor Society chapter and led the UNG Writers Guild for two years, helping students write and gather valuable feedback from one another, enabling them to better proofread and edit their work for future publications. Many of those writers saw their work in print through UNG's award-winning student literary magazine, for which Haley Shea served as an editor for several years. Other campus engagements included running the community book drive for over two years and founding an all-student improv troupe which went on to perform and compete in tournaments around the state and region. While acting helped her become comfortable on-stage, Haley Shea also greatly benefited from her time as a member of the speech and debate team, placing first in statewide debate and slam poetry competitions over the years. Her favorite topic of both debate and poetry is that of human innovation and interaction with emerging technology, especially in relation to ethical policies on artificial intelligence. Captivated by syntax in both spoken language and computer code, she is fascinated with recent developments in language-based software and hopes to contribute to the field of computational psycholinguistics while earning her PhD. After graduating, Haley Shea knew she wanted to keep supporting other students toward their goals. A scholarship student herself, she always loves any chance to help individuals express their strengths and unique personal histories in ways that will help further their goals. To this end, she continues to mentor applicants for nationally competitive scholarships and other student support opportunities, such as the McNair Scholars Program and Goldwater STEM Scholarship, two major awards which made an immense difference toward the funding of her bachelor's education when she was named an official recipient in 2019, in honor of her interdisciplinary research and commitment to fostering student success on campus. She finds joy in any opportunity to uplift other students--especially women in STEM, individuals facing disabilities, or anyone who seeks to improve their command of the English language. In sharing her passions with her students, she helps them break out of "analysis paralysis" into a fun, personalized routine that helps foster positive associations with the topic of study and strong metacognitive skills that lead to improved performance over time. Special Topic Announcement: Students of English writing, grammar, comprehension, et cetera may enjoy developing their meta-linguistic awareness through Sentence Diagramming. Ask during booking to learn more about how you can become a grammar wiz through one-on-one classes in Sentence Diagramming taught by Haley Shea.

I believe that all learning begins with curiosity; if a first little spark of interest can be kindled, understanding will soon follow. During my time spent serving as a volunteer tutor during both my high school and undergraduate years, I was able to help many students increase their knowledge of History, English Literature, and Grammar. Additionally, I was also able to help others gain the skill sets necessary for accomplished essay writing and SAT Verbal Test Preparation. My goal is to always guide the student towards a deeper comprehension of the subject matter, with development of the corresponding techniques and sense of confidence necessary for success.

As a student of life, education, both formal and informal, energizes me. On the formal front, I have my AA in Psychology, my BA in Criminology, and my MS in E-Commerce, and I have an equally diverse post-studies career history. My love of education has taken me to Southern California where I fed my love of law and learned about film. Next, I visited rural Florida with a stint at a Community Theatre. I've even spent a fair amount of time in the Hospitality Industry in Las Vegas, which, unexpectedly, introduced me to the construction industry. Through all of this, I have been a professional tutor for profit and pro bono. I believe education should be available to everyone regardless of age, sex, or socio-economic status, and I utilize learning identification to impart wisdom in the most effective way possible for each student's needs. I love that magical moment when the student "gets it." With experience in a broad range of subjects, mathematics is the most enjoyable for me, as well as LSAT Logic Games I'm the weirdo doing LSAT games at the tea house. My spare time finds me in nature for hikes and trail runs, and I can regularly be found on an obstacle course (Spartan, Tough Mudder, SISU, etc.) or doing an extreme endurance events either racing or supporting friends. Life is to be learned and lived!

I am a current Master's in Public Health student at the University of South Florida. I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor's in Biology and minor in public health. I have previous experience tutoring middle school reading and math. I enjoy helping students better understand concepts because I know how it feels to be confused, and it seems like no one is able to help you. I hope to be that person who can help you better understand the subject and maybe enjoy it too! My favorite subject is math, especially calculus and algebra!

I'm a freshman at Rutgers University studying Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I've always been curious about how the world works, which led me to explore everything from physics and calculus to machine learning and space research. I'm especially interested in how AI can solve real problems in spacelike predicting satellite orbits or understanding Earth's upper atmosphere. Outside of the classroom, I've tutored students from grades 6 to 12 in math and physics. I love breaking down tricky concepts and helping students find that "aha" moment. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 2it's where math starts getting deeper and connects to the real world, especially physics and engineering. I focus on making my sessions clear, supportive, and engaging. Whether a student needs help building confidence or mastering complex topics, I aim to make learning feel less stressful and more exciting.

I am currently persuing my undergraduate degree at Rutgers University. I have been tutoring for 5 years now with experience in all age groups. From tutoring English to Math, I can tutor in many different subjects including Spanish. My philosophy is to treat each student as an individual who needs a specific plan tailored to their needs. I achieved within the 99th percentile in my math section of the SATs. I've taken up to college level math and several statistics courses. I achieved within the 99th percentile for the SAT English section. I've taken up to college level classes. I have a very flexible lesson and am up to date with modern techniques taught in schools!
