Certified Tutor

I am Dr. Lily Skots, a passionate educator with a Ph.D. in General Psychology, specializing in Cognition and Instruction from Grand Canyon University. With over five years of teaching experience in elementary education, I have a particular enthusiasm for teaching Russian, English language arts, and math. My approach centers on breaking down complex concepts into manageable parts, using engaging, real-world examples tailored to each student's interests. For instance, I successfully implemented a basketball-themed math game to help third graders master multiplication tables, which transformed learning into a fun and interactive experience. I believe that every child can succeed when lessons are infused with creativity and tailored to their unique learning styles. My dedication to fostering academic growth has been recognized through my contributions to Universal Design Learning strategies and the development of programs that enhance parental engagement in education. I am eager to empower future educators and continue making a positive impact in the classroom.
