Hello! Thanks for reading. I have been tutoring youth aged 10 18 for over a decade, with experiences spanning New York, Memphis, Santa Fe and Baltimore. I received my BA in Urban Studies from New York University in 2009 and obtained my Master's of Science in Public Health Nutrition from Johns Hopkins University in 2013. I am also a Registered & Licensed Nutritionist currently based in Memphis, TN.My joy in tutoring comes from helping children and young adults evolve as learners. There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing a young person's aha moment and I strive to reach that moment with patience, humor, and creativity. Every person learns and engages differently, and it is crucial that a tutor be aware of, attuned to and prepared for those differences. I believe that tutoring is about growing minds and forging connections and I believe my long history of successful tutoring partnerships attests to that fact. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, taking online Coursera classes (they're a great resource!), hiking, practicing yoga, and exploring new places.

Q&A with Hannah

I believe that each student has a set of unique skills and abilities that aid them in connecting with even the most difficult subjects. I strive to connect not just intellectually, but emotionally with each student I tutor, thereby building trust and creating a deep understanding of their interests and ways of perceiving the world. This aids immensely in the tutoring process, as I am able to then bridge the gap in understanding by illuminating linkages in the student's knowledge that they otherwise may not notice or find applicable. I also believe that humor is a huge asset when tutoring and creating an atmosphere where best effort and critical thinking are at the center of every session.
