About Me

I recently graduated from University of Vermont with a double B.A. in Environmental Studies and Studio Art. I've been working with young people for over seven years in lots of different settings, but after starting college I realized how much I loved teaching. Most recently, I've been working with students in outdoor education and in other alternative learning settings, and am considering becoming a classroom teacher. My years of education experience have helped me develop some strategies for students who struggle in school and with tests. My favorite subjects to tutor are science, history, and English. I also work in general homework help, test prep, and organization skills. I like to tutor history and English especially, because being able to have a conversation about a subject really helps me learn. When I begin working with a student, I like to start out by getting to know them and their interests, and trying to pinpoint exactly where they are having trouble in a subject. By finding these leverage points, I can help them develop good habits and new strategies to create success in their schoolwork. I believe that everyone can be successful in school, but it's a matter of finding a custom plan for each individual. In my years of working with students, I know that everyone is different and what works for one student may not work for another. I aim to help my students develop the self-sufficiency, passion, and skills to help them accomplish their goals in school. When I'm not working with students, I love to be outside--hiking, biking, swimming, and kayaking are some of my favorite pastimes!
