My experience tutoring starts informally in high school. I loved being able to help my fellow classmates understand a new concept. Since high school, I have formally tutored students in the college setting. I worked with students to write and edit college level papers. My favorite students to work with are ESL students. I love learning about their culture while helping them learn mine. I am currently a 7th grade English teacher. We read many styles of literature and work with different styles of essay writing. I prep my students for state testing, and I start a foundation for ACT testing. I have previously taught 11th grade English: on-level and remedialWhen I am not teaching, my hobbies include painting and going on adventures. My favorite art style is mixed media art. My adventures extend all over the United State as well as over seas. My hobbies have helped me grow as a teacher and as a tutor by giving me the opportunity to see the beauty and possibility in the world. I reflect this mindset into my teaching.

Q&A with Bailey

"Great teachers empathize with kids, respect them, and believe that each one has something special that can be built upon." -Ann Lieberman. I love this quote because it holds true to how I approach teaching. I look for what the student already knows or finds interest in, and build upon their knowledge or interest so that each lesson is meaningful.
