Award-Winning Writing Tutors in Concord, NC

Hi, my name is Kaylan Cannon and I am so excited to be working as a tutor through Varsity Tutor! I am passionate about education and am in school at UNCC to get my Bachelors in Arts in Elementary Education.

As a consultant and educator, I believe in being a lifelong learner and continuously challenging yourself to grow in different areas. Most importantly, I believe in identifying and playing to your strengths while learning how to improve your weaknesses.

I am a kindergarten teacher with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. I have taught lower elementary for 6 years. Teaching is my passion. I believe that all children can learn, no matter their background or challenges. My favorite part of teaching is when a student has finally understood the content, and I can see the excitement in his/her face!... I believe that all students can learn, no matter their backgrounds or challenges. I approach teaching with an open, creative mind, using student's strengths and interests to help improve their weaknesses. I believe that not all students learn at the same pace and sometimes need another approach to master a skill.

...I have experience working with students of all ability levels and diverse backgrounds. I feel that these qualifications, plus my extensive knowledge of composition, rhetoric, and literature would help me to work well with anyone who is need of tutoring relating to English/Language Arts. Working with tenth graders preparing to take the SAT, ACT, and North Carolina End-of-Course assessments has also given me the qualifications needed to prepare students for standardized testing.
