4+ Years Tutoring

I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Kentucky with a minor in French. Over the past eight years, I have tutored students in Math and Science courses as young as Middle School all the way through College. While at the University of Kentucky, I led group tutoring as well as provided private tutoring for students through the university. I have also had a number of both Spanish-speaking and English-speaking private clients throughout the state of Kentucky. I am passionate about tutoring because I love watching students reach a level of understanding that they did not have before. I believe that every student learns differently and as a tutor it is my job to navigate material with the student to create spaces for success. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, hiking, and learning new languages.

10+ Years Tutoring

In May of 2015 I received a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Psychology from the University of Cincinnati. August of 2017 I received a Master of Science in Medical Science from the University of Kentucky. I currently work doing research on Gaucher Disease. I have been tutoring/teaching in some form for the last 10 years, working with children and adults of all ages. Previously I have spent 4 years as an instructional assistant/assistant band director. During this time I was afforded the opportunity to get to work one on one with many different types of students. I taught a class of 30 middle school students 6 periods of the day where I worked with them on increasing their math and reading skills. After school I would tutor grades 6 through 12 mostly in math and science. I also gave private music lessons after school. I have experience working with special needs students and have worked as a sensory motor coach for children ages 3 to 18 with development and sensory disorders. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and science but I am comfortable tutoring many different subjects. I like being able to see to help the student make connections from the subject material to their own lives. When tutoring I like to make sure the student is involved in the process. I like to ask them questions about the material and to help them draw out and visualize the solution. Every student learns differently and I feel they do better when they can personally relate to the material and find a connection to their own life. In my spare time I enjoy playing music, painting, reading, rock climbing and spending time with my family.

6+ Years Tutoring

An alumnus of the University of Kentucky, I graduated this past May with a degree in Biology and Business Management, minoring in Economics and International Business, and am headed to medical school in the fall. As a student, both in college and in high school, I have always found enjoyment and fulfillment in being able to share knowledge through the process of tutoring.In college, I worked for a volunteer learning center in the biology department, tutoring other college students in introductory biology, genetics, evolution, and biochemistry, among other biology subjects; in high school, I taught classes for the ACT, with credibility based on my own performance in the exam, to raise donations for a nonprofit. While I enjoy tutoring a broad range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are science, math, and standardized testing. In each of these, I relish the intellectual challenge by which problems are addressed and solved.Regardless of the topic and of my own tutoring ability, I believe that the proliferation of content and accomplishment on the internet shows that with time and dedication, anyone can learn anything. I aspire to take the time and dedication to help you accomplish the true learning that education aspires to impart.Outside of the classroom, I enjoy watching sports of all kinds, love skiing, playing basketball, soccer, and ultimate frisbee, reading about all kinds of science and societal topics, and appreciate keeping up with what I one day want to make a career out of: public health.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Master of Science in Animal Nutrition. I received my Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences from Cornell University. While I tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring math and feel that our school systems often fail students when it comes to math. I do not believe that some people simply "can't do math." I believe that some may need extra time and help, but everyone can do math. With patience and hard work, any student can learn. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish, which I have studied since I was in elementary. During undergrad, I even studied abroad in Barcelona and lived with a host family. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, TV/movies, and knitting.

My favorite subject in school has always been science. If there was a class I never wanted to skip, it was always some type of science, and when it came time to choose a college major I already knew I wanted to be a biologist! While learning about all the different aspects of biology, genetics, insects, marine life, and plants were my favorite focus areas. So when I decided to go to grad school it was an easy pick to become an Entomologist! Being any type of scientist requires heavy math, communication, and reading skills, so I have been refining my skills in those areas as I went through college and then grad school.I have also learned how to communicate things in lots of different ways, including sign language (ASL), art (painting and drawing), and presenting online via Zoom. I was hired as a substitute teacher last year as I finished up my degree, so I also learned how to communicate with lots of different aged people! As your tutor, I will work with you and your specific personality to best teach you what I can. I have used a lot of visual representation in the past, as well as having the student talk through the lesson to see if they could teach me the information.I have been to Belize to study marine biology, farms around the US to study insects, and have "been" many places to present via Zoom! I love to meet new people and would love to meet you!

Hello! Teaching is sharing knowledge while enjoying the process. I've taught college, high school, and middle school students French, Latin, English, and Christian Studies. And while the subjects may seem boring, the way of learning any of them never is. I love making learning fun, impactful, and memorable. And although some lessons are harder and the time needed to master the subject may be longer, together we will find a way to get where the student needs to be.
