Kristie: Marietta tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello! I am a second year junior in the Honors College at the University of South Florida! My major is biomedical sciences.

I believe that every student has unlimited potential to be successful. This potential, however, is determined by one's own efforts and determination.

I believe that as I am also a student, I can be able to help other students in material, as I can connect with them in various ways and understand which ways are most effective for students to learn.

One big reason I became a tutor is to implement ways that I learned to my own tutoring strategies. One of the most effective ways to learn is by making mistakes, because each mistake made is a learning experience. While there is little room to make mistakes in the classroom, they can be done in tutoring sessions.

I also understand that the understanding of material from the perspective of an instructor is different from the perspective of a student. I, being one who may have taken the class not too far off from the student, can help in areas I may have also struggled in and learned from in those same classes.

Most importantly, I believe that education is a great blessing, and being able to learn material and help my peers is an even greater blessing. I aspire to implement my love for tutoring and education to helping students grow in the classroom!
