I have spent my entire life with the love of learning and I look forward to passing that onto others. I received my undergrad degree at Ashland University in Family and Consumer Science Education. I taught for four years at the number one top public high school in Ohio - Wyoming High School. During that time, I completed my graduate work in School Counseling at Xavier University. I have worked for previous tutoring companies for math and language arts and have also taught ACT test prep courses. I currently work as a middle school counselor. Between my background in education and counseling, I am able to get to know a student and teach them in a way that suits their learning style and allows them to reach their full potential. I look forward to working with you!

My background is in Athletic Training. I have a bachelors degree and a masters degree in AT. My love of sports and for the human body has led me down this path. I am a current college professor teaching a wide variety of courses in health, anatomy and physiology, and exercise science. I have recently gone on to continue my education and just completed my doctoral degree in kinesiology. I teach college students primarily but do have experience teaching middle school age students through an anatomy camp each summer. I also have 3 children in elementary school in which I am probably overly involved in their learning.As far as my teaching style goes, I love to present information in multiple ways. I often look for youtube videos on content that students don't understand, and use them instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. I also like to use images, both labeled and unlabeled. Often times it takes hearing something more than once for it to be remembered and my goal is to provide repetition but in a way that it not so repetitive. I also encourage my students to teach me. If you can act like the teacher than you know the content.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy traveling around and showing my kids different historic sites and National Parks. I think one can learn a lot when traveling and it is one way I like to teach my own children about our world, culture, country, and even math. I'm a former soccer player turned soccer mom now, but I love all sports. Because I teach anatomy, health, and exercise science, many of my students are athletes so I am able to use sports to teach concepts.We can learn from the world around us, we just need a little encouragement to get started.

Laura
BFA Xavier University
5+ Years Tutoring

I am passionate about helping students because I love to learn and share in ideas. "Teaching" others and gaining their perspective is like "relearning" something and enjoying that "ah ha" moment all over again. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities, sponsored foreign exchange students, and collaborated with other artists and volunteers through community arts organizations. As my high school Valedictorian, I attended Xavier University on a full academic scholarship where I attained a BFA with a concentration in Drawing and Painting. I also studied classical dance from a German ballerina through a long teaching apprenticeship. I have always believed in the connections between art, athletics, and academics and that we learn best by doing. As a lifelong learner I have entered into jobs and projects where I could learn and share new skills both inside and outside the classroom. All of this experience has prepared me for my most important career as devoted wife and a proud mother of two. Currently I tutor English/ AP test taking, reading, writing, studio arts, design, and executive function. My true passion is education and how we best learn new skills, information, and alternative perspectives and cultures. I love travel, stories of all kinds, live theatre, and the art of conversation.

MS Miami University-Middletown • BA Xavier University

I am a graduate of St. Ignatius College Prep High School and Xavier University. While attending Xavier I received my BS in Environmental Science and also minored in Economics. I am currently pursuing my MA in Biology from Miami University's Project Dragonfly program. With this program I am focused on the pedagogy of conservation and environmental science. I have spent the last seven years educating students k-12, collegiate level, and adult learners. My favorite topics to help students with are ecology and environmental science! However, I have a diverse background and am confident I can help with everything from reading and writing to economics and statistics! I like to focus on ways to break down complex topics into more manageable pieces. I know that a topic may need to be explained five different ways before it is palatable and I am prepared to reword and rephrase with examples to help you get there!

5+ Years Tutoring

Focusing on my academics, I chose Xavier University of LA as my undergraduate school consciously to prepare me for the heavy load of math and science in medicine. My path at Xavier continued to grow when I decided to become a Drill Instructor of General Chemistry I & II during my freshman year. My job requirements as a Drill Instructor were to administer weekly quizzes on the material learned in General Chemistry lecture, grade all coursework, and provide assistance on the General Chemistry content.After graduation, I decided to become the Organic Chemistry Staff Instructor at Xavier after realizing I needed a gap year to fully prepare myself for graduate school. In the Organic Chemistry Center I became a mentor to the young students and provided guidance to being a well-rounded college student. Mentoring students has given me the satisfaction that I am reaching people from all backgrounds on the importance of education and networking.During my gap year, I actively researched programs that would make me a more competitive candidate for nursing school. My best choice was Mississippi College Master's Biology Program; in the city of Clinton I became more efficient in my study skills by taking higher-level medical course work. Also, becoming a student researcher with a focus on student anxiety and working memory in the Biology Department was a great way for me to apply the coursework I learned in class into the hours I logged in the lab with participants of the study. In Mississippi, volunteering at the Mission First Medical Dental Clinic in Mississippi was a way for me to make my way back to the community, gain exposure to patient care and proper bedside manner.In 2019, opening a business in a world-renowned food city was one of the most ambitious things I've ever done in my life. Although, like my endeavors of becoming a nurse, I decided to learn as much as I can about the industry and create a path for myself to become successful. I now own Tee Alex Catering, LLC based in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area with a focus on Creole Cuisine. The business is built on teamwork, building within the community, diligence, and communication skills.After graduating with a Master's in Biological Science, I decided to go back into the classroom and teach Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, and Biology I at Ursuline Academy of New Orleans. I knew that this career would sharpen my basic science skills and cause my organizational skills to improve tremendously and it did just that. Every morning, I had to be prepared for all three courses in the likely hood that not only would I teach seventy-five minute classes but provide outside tutoring to my students at any moment. The balance of providing creative outlets and core science work in the classroom was doable only by sharpening my skills as a leader.Through all of these experiences I have been preparing for my day to change another's child life in a medical office, the same way my pediatrician did for me in 2003 with one short visit. A science major must have social skills, a solid education, confidence in making difficult choices, and integrity. My life journey into the medical field has provided me with the foundation to become a great nurse and tutor.
