About Me

I am an enthusiastic, resourceful tutor. I graduated from Penn State University with my Bachelor's degree is Special Education and my Master's degree in Curriculum and instruction. I am certified in Special Education (K-12), as a Reading Specialist (K-12), PreK-4th grade education as well as Middle School English Language Arts. I love helping students get to that "light bulb" moment. I believe that it is important to get to know each student in order to motivate them to succeed. Providing students with examples that make sense to them and apply to their lives is so important and necessary for success. I've been passionate about helping students for as long as I can remember. I always wanted to play school with my younger brothers! I'm looking forward to working with your family!

Q&A with Emily

I love working with students until they reach that "lightbulb" moment. I work to make learning applicable to real-life in order to create a student who genuinely loves to learn. The best thing about being a tutor is being able to work one on one with a student. Being able to cater exactly to the interests of the students makes learning and teaching so enjoyable for me. I'm looking forward to meeting you! How can you help a student become an independent learner? I help students become independent learners by implementing a gradual release of control in my lessons. By providing students with plenty of opportunities to master a skill, I set them up for success on their own. How would you help a student stay motivated?
