Evelyn
Certified Tutor
I'm currently a college student from Kean University majoring in BA Elementary Education seeking to gain more experience through tutoring. I have tutored people my entire life with the help of my teachers growing up giving me the confidence to do so. I've taught bilinguals, kids with hard time understand the material and special education kids. I believe in my abilities to give kids the opportunity to prove their worth in their confidence. Their skills matters! My favorite subject to tutor is English writing because I love writing and I also write myself as a hobby. I enjoy going to church as I serve the Lord with all my heart and soul.
