10+ years of tutoring

Duquesne University

I tutor because I want to be a successful teacher. I recently graduated from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There I earned my bachelors degrees in both Secondary Education and English. I've now entered the Graduate School of Special Education. I believe every student can succeed with the right amount of attention and the appropriate person encouraging and pushing them to be better. I excel with late middle school/ early high school students. I'm open to tutoring online and in person. I want every student to do their very best, and I accomplish this goal through incorporating their interests into every part of every lesson. I look forward to picking up new students, and I'm excited to hear from you! Have a great day!

Q&A with Desiree

I believe that every student can learn, it's just a question of how. You have to find a way to connect with your students that takes the pieces of the puzzle and makes them into a full picture. How can you help a student become an independent learner? You have to put in place a system the student adheres to. I always try to find something my students like, and build from that, whether it be a certain topic, a way of taking notes, listening to stories as they read, etc. You have to start at the bottom and build their way up. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
