Lureen: Round Lake tutor

Certified Tutor

I believe every individual is born with a unique set of gifts ,talents and abilities and when placed in a nurturing environment they will flourish. Based on this belief it is my desire to create an atmosphere that fosters, not hinders the success of my students. Many years ago I began my career as an educational specialist with the New York City Department of Probation and I provided tutorial services for juvenile delinquents involved in the juvenile court system. Although the youngsters were court mandated to attend a computer lab for tutorial services they were not required to participate in activities once they completed the tutoring lab, However, I wrote a play about going back to school after summer break, and all the participants agreed to perform in the play. I expressed interest in them and recognized they all had abilities despite their setbacks. It was my belief in them that kept them returning and participating when they didn't have to . I hold true to this same philosophy today and display it with students I am working out. I have a firm conviction that every individual on this earth was born with the ability to succeed and I approach my tutorial sessions with the same belief which I have carried with me all of these years.
