Sierra: Rockville tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a newly certified English teacher who graduated from SUNY New Paltz. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Adolescence Education with a concentration in English. My strength as a teacher is definitely forming meaningful connections with my students. The more I get to know and understand my student's needs and interests, the easier it is to form lesson plans that are relevant and fit the needs of each person. I find so much joy in reading literature and helping students comprehend stories and poems in ways that are meaningful. Whether you're looking to improve your writing skills, understand what you're reading on a deeper level, or simply need help with homework assignments, I am more than happy to work with you and make learning fun!

Hobbies

Besides snuggling up with my cats and reading a good fiction novel, I enjoy playing video games in my free time. It's a way to step away from teaching and unwind with my peers. I'm also a musician and have experience playing the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones. I also sing (but I often do it just to annoy my parents and sister). Involving English, I especially enjoy writing short stories and poetry.
