...part of being able to maximize teaching and enrichment of content. By using informal and formal screeners along with pre assessments - I will always have a map of where to take any tutoring session.

I have also worked a great deal with middle school students in pilot programs that center around blended...

...life as a tutor has brought me a lot of joy and perseverance. French is my native language and I grew up in the United States, so from a very young age I was bilingual.

...of balance while the creativity and freedom of fiction novels and creating music has taught me not to take myself too seriously and to constantly challenge the known to discover the new. We won't learn what's the best way of doing or learning if we don't try new ways to do or learn. I started tutoring when I was in middle school and have kept it up ever since. My favorite subject to tutor would...

...a team and learning how to be fit and healthy. I was first inspired to pursue teaching during my work experience at university.

I was able to observe the academic gains from students working collaboratively...

One passion people quickly learn about me is that I LOVE golf! Any time I have a chance, you will find me playing or studying the sport. I am the oldest of seven, and have never been out of Texas. Although I am horrible at it, I enjoy singing and dancing. Someday soon, I hope to learn to swing dance.

I was introduced to tutoring through a love of helping my friends succeed, and finding wonderful friends that helped me succeed. The feeling of understanding something is amazing, and the feeling of helping someone understand something is rewarding. Above all, I encourage critical thinking in everything I teach. Memorizing formulas and facts is good for short-term learning, but to truly understand a concept it is necessary to stimulate our minds to see patterns and connections.
