I have over ten years of tutoring experience, working with students anywhere on the spectrum from kindergarten to graduate school, with a particular focus on high school.

...reviews, helping authors plan, outline and articulate their thoughts in writing in an encouraging way is second nature to me. Finally, as a university educator working with undergrads, I know how to develop the skills needed to get in to a good college and more importantly - to succeed once there.

Hi my name is McKenna! I'm a current college student who is studying speech pathology and psychology. I want to help children express themselves and succeed on their learning journey. I believe teaching should be personalized for the learner and that learning shouldn't be a bore or struggle. I have taken courses to teach various ages from elementary to AP high school level.

...from UMass Amherst. I attended Ohio Wesleyan University from 2010 to 2012, but disliked how few subject opportunities were offered at this smaller school. I transferred to UMass Amherst in 2012 for the first semester of my junior year. During the second semester of both my Junior and Senior year I was awarded Dean's List for academic achievement. Additionally, I was inducted into the National Latin Honor Society for continuous academic achievement in my Latin...

...I've spent my entire life surrounded by educators, and so I've been tutoring for the past 10 years. I'm especially familiar with the Montessori method (ex-Montessori student and the child of an elementary school teacher).

...Outside of what must sound like an incredibly academic life, I do find time to entertain myself. I love going to museums and am definitely interested in some recommendations for the must-see museums in Baltimore. I'm a huge theatre lover, and I sometimes dabble in acting when I have time. I absolutely love doing voices and accents when I tell stories. If laser-pointering with my cat were an Olympic sport, I would certainly qualify. I'm...
