I have experience teaching students with a wide array of learning needs, and have experience motivating students to enjoy learning and feel inspired to achieve their goals. I look forward to supporting student learning as a tutor with Varsity Tutors.... My teaching philosophy is to individually tailor lessons and activities based on students' academic proficiency levels, and differentiating materials based on their particular learning style. That is, if a student learns best through visuals I aim to use visual aids and cues to support learning activities; similarly, if a student is performing math on a third grade level while in sixth grade, I make sure to tailor activities that meet the student where they are at while scaffolding supports to allow them to do activities on grade level.

I also aim to invest students by using their interests to drive practice questions and lessons. Through investing students in lessons and making lessons feel relevant to them, I have seen students perform with better success.
