About Me

Having been a student myself for many years, I recall loving learning, but hating feeling unsuccessful. After studying and graduating with a B.S. in Elementary and Special Education, I am now on the other side of things, with a great realization of just how much is being asked of students. With high-stakes testing, high standards of expectations, and sometimes large class sizes, it's no wonder some students find themselves missing bits and pieces of information that they need to do their best. As a teacher in the classroom, I'm dedicated to helping my students grow in their abilities, whatever it takes. Sometimes it isn't just about how I teach a concept to students-- it's about how I teach that one concept to that one student in particular. I find such an importance in individualizing instruction so that it is easy to understand and specific to student needs, and as a tutor, I hope to do the same.

Q&A with Meghan

There is always more being learned than what is written on the lesson plan. This one sentence is so reflective of my philosophy of teaching-- at any time, in any subject or activity, students are learning more than just academics. They learn how it feels to be successful, to be encouraged, to feel motivated to complete a task. On the other side, they may learn what it feels like to feel frustrated or incapable or absolutely uninterested. At all times as a teacher, I find it important to keep in mind these little lessons that aren't written in my plan book, utilizing opportunities to help students recognize and appreciate those feel-good moments, and recognize and work through those feel-bad ones. Academics are important, but learning how to enjoy learning, especially when it's difficult, is even more valuable.
