Devon: Glenview tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently entering my senior year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. I am majoring in Medicine, Health and Society on the pre-medical track with two minors in French Language and Culture and History of Art. In regard to my tutoring experience, I have been a part of an organization at Vanderbilt called Next Steps since my freshman year and am currently serving on the executive board. This organization works with students with intellectual disabilities by providing them with tutoring services and support in all aspects of their lives so they can live as independently as possible. I have been a tutor for the organization since I first joined and it has given me vital experience working with all types of students from all sorts of backgrounds. While I've always had an interest in a wide range of academic subjects, I feel the most passionate about science, math and language comprehension. The academic philosophy that one must understand and learn material instead of simply memorizing it has always been a core component of my teaching style. I hope to impart this same set of beliefs on the students that I tutor. In my spare time, I love to read and I try to stay creative by frequently drawing and painting.
