About Me

I am dedicated to helping students understand not only the material of their subjects but strategies for answering questions of all types. I find it extremely helpful and important for the success of a student to focus on the intricacies of test taking or writing, such as proper use of the process of elimination with multiple choice questions, deep understanding of question syntax, and ways to formulate written answers, essays and papers that emphasize what the student knows and minimizes what the student doesn't know or isn't relevant to the subject at hand. I also facilitate a student's meaningful absorption of the material in the following ways: verbal expression of both the student's and my own thought processes, repetition of (novel) questions in areas that are difficult for the student and the monitoring of progress through correctly answered questions and the student's ability to explain why certain answers, thought processes or writing methods are either correct or incorrect. Finally, I possess great patience with students of all ages and hope to make the tutoring experience as smooth and as helpful as possible for them!

Q&A with Carlie

My teaching philosophy is to not only help the student with subjects but to help the student help themselves when they get stuck on something during school or otherwise outside of a tutoring session.
