Victoria: Downey tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Kent State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Speech Pathology and Audiology with a background in American Sign Language. I am currently studying to receive my Master's in Early Childhood Education from Kent State as well. Throughout the years, I have volunteered and tutored children through the Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization. Also, I worked as a daycare substitute teacher, working with children newborn to fourth grade. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, grammar, and reading. As a child, I was an avid "book worm" and always had so much fun exploring this big world through the pages of a book. Through my experience, I have found that reading not only helps children learn the grammar and speech skills they need but also piques their curiosity and opens the door for further learning. This natural curiosity propelled me to be an advocate for education, with the hope that every child can one day explore this world with the tools they need to be successful.
