I am a graduate of Penn State University, earning a BS in Elementary Education as well as a minor certificate in Special Education. I have a passion for early learners and someday hope to earn my Reading Specialist certificate. During college, I tutored 3 separate students, two of them being young ELL learners. I worked with these students on homework and any other areas they needed help in. Last school year I taught Kindergarten full time, and this year I am substitute teaching all grade levels. I tutor many subjects but am most comfortable in the elementary arena, especially in the Language Arts! I am a voracious reader and love to pass on my love of literature to students. I believe that every child has their own way of learning and that should be taken into account during lessons and tutoring. I am a big believer in meeting students where they are and helping them to show growth. Outside of teaching, I love to read, bake, cook, and stay active - I recently just completed my first half marathon! I also played basketball for 10 years and enjoy playing sports for fun.
