As a mother of three daughters (15, 12 and 8), I am very experienced in working with children and teens and motivating them to succeed at schoolwork and writing (without doing the work for them!). As a marketing manager for a major publisher of children's content, my job requires me to tackle writing projects every day with the aim of really getting the message across. Both of these attributes will help my students as they work on reading, writing and organizational tasks.

Current Undergrad, Elementary and Special Education Providence College
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently attending Providence college. This year I worked as a teacher's assistant in a inner city classroom. I was able to work with twenty-six wonderful first grade students. In this position I helped children with Special Needs achieve their goals for the academic year. I also volunteered in an afterschool enrichment program for inner city students. In this program I helped fourth and fifth graders with their homework. I also was able to set up many fun group building activities.I love giving back to the community. I have worked with Habitat for Humanity and I am an active member of my school's ESL Club. In ESL club I help adult Spanish speaking students learn the vocabulary they need for their day to day activities. I have also tutored High School and College students in History, English, Spanish, Art History, and Religion. I love being able to find creative solutions to problems. I think that everyone approaches learning differently. In my opinion, teachers need to be flexible and they need to adapt to their students needs. True Learning can only take place when a student feels respected and safe.

16+ Years Tutoring

My love for teaching began in the basement of my childhood home. I would call my little brother, my little sister, and all my stuffed animals down the stairs and set up my classroom. It was a very simple classroom with just a few chairs and a small chalkboard easel, but it ignited my passion for teaching and guiding students. Lessons have come a long way, from practicing letters and words on that easel to solving complex math problems, but that passion still remains.I graduated from Providence College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I concentrated my studies in Anatomy and Mathematics while in the Pre-Med program. I started tutoring the beginning of my Sophomore year in college, and have loved it ever since. My tutoring experience ranges from middle school level up to college level Biology and Mathematics. My two favorite subjects to tutor are general biology and algebra because both are like puzzles. The pieces of the problem all have to fit in order to see the correct answer. When I am tutoring, my goal is to meet the student where they are. This involves investigating where the student may be struggling or need guidance and building a foundation from there.Even though I love homework, I have many interests outside of academia. I love to do anything outdoors, from running to hiking to swimming in the ocean. I grew up playing hockey, and I continue to play today.

I am a current Masters/PhD Candidate in Human Development and Applied Behavioral Analysis at the University of Rochester. I earned my Bachelor's Degree and first Master's of Special Education degree at Providence College in Rhode Island. I taught Elementary Special Education for two years in the Pittsford Central School District before choosing to return to school to further my career. I am a friendly, interactive and enthusiastic tutor who wants to help students achieve their goals! My tutoring approach is not just about simply getting the best grades- it's about making these subjects interesting, relatable, and even fun in the hope that students enjoy the learning process, and therefore feel more motivated to study hard to earn their good grades. I can tailor lessons around the student's desires and goals, whether it be grasping the basics, explanations of complex concepts, or going through exam questions and SAT/AP prep. I strive to understand the preferred learning style of each individual student so that he/she feels comfortable and is able to remain engaged and learn in a way that suits them. I hope to pass on my enthusiasm for learning to my students.
