I am a fourth year student at Colorado Christian University and I am getting my bachelor's degree in both Secondary Education and Social Studies. I am tutoring middle school social studies and high school economics, which I enjoy teaching and tutoring because it is important that students understand how history and events of the past effect them today. I have had many chances to work with students in the past through working at an after school care program and getting my field hours for my teaching certificate. In the after school care program I worked with students from Kindergarten through eighth grade. I helped students with the reading , writing, and history homework. In my field experiences I have taught middle school social studies classes where I had to create my own lessons and content. When tutoring my goal is to help students become independent learners and to love learning, even when it might be difficult. In my spare time I enjoy playing my violin, reading, and hiking.
