I've been tutoring Kindergarten through 3rd grade students in reading for the Polk County public school system for the last three years through Americorps, a national service program. The subjects that I tutor are Art History, English, Phonics, Reading, and Social Studies. I can also helps students with homework support, study skills and organization. My favorite subject to tutor is Art, and I hope to become an elementary school art teacher after completing my certification. Art is my favorite subject to teach because I like the idea of encouraging all young people to have an aptitude in self-expression through creative means, even if they don't want to pursue art as a career. I love drawing, painting, reading, writing, cooking, and hiking. I also just love to help students reach their goals. Everyone learns differently. Through my experiences as a tutor, I've learned that there are several methods and tools that can really make a difference in an individual's learning success. There is always room for improvement, and a positive attitude with a steady application of practice will help any student succeed.

I love reading, writing, painting, drawing, sculpting, and hiking.
