...for many reasons. First, I am able to differentiate my lessons and other lessons for all abilities. Differentiation is essential and it proves that teachers are in tune with the individual students and can adapt any lesson to meet every child's needs. As a special education teacher, I was also able to create and implement incentive systems which served as a motivator for students, especially when the lessons increase in difficulty. Another reason I would...

...college, I tutored several Psychology and Neuroscience courses. After graduating from Texas A&M, I began a graduate program in Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin.

I am excited to work with all students, particularly those with special needs (including G/T). Please...

I would introduce myself and try to find some commonality between myself and the student. I would...

...I am really interested in applied mathematics, using math for real-world situations! Subjects I feel very strongly about are discrete mathematics, algebra, linear algebra. My tutoring philosophy is to help students help themselves, as this will boost their motivation and confidence, and to be a friend to them as well as a mentor.

...effective advocate and partner for students experiencing academic difficulty. As a crisis counselor in Charlotte, NC, I was afforded the opportunity to work with youth ages 7-17 experiencing crisis. As a Safe Place advocate, it was vitally important to be person-centered and strength-focused to uphold an environment that was not only invitingly safe, but also nonjudgmental. This opportunity allowed me to expand my skills by serving as a therapeutic counselor providing guidance, supervision, and model...

...confusion and see them turn those blocks into steps toward mastery. I view my role as a conduit for your process. I can help organize your approach by finding the most highly recurring places where you struggle and construct a more stable foundation. We aim to enjoy learning, not score perfect. That allows us to relax as we polish or build skills that once hindered progress. Even though I started by tutoring mathematics, my natural...

...I tutor at my home office. I can rest or take extra medication before the students arrive. I cannot tutor more than 2 hours back to back. I have to stand up, stretch, exercise, or even take a nap before I can continue. Sometimes the student's needs do push me into doing more than I should and then I have to take longer to recover. I usually do manage to keep a good balance. I...

...and more. I find tutoring to be an extremely rewarding experience, both for the student and the tutor. Although it seems like the student is the only one learning, the tutor learns a great deal, as well. For instance, with each student I take on, I gain valuable experience that I can then use with another student. In addition, I love being able to assist a student in reaching their goals, be that a higher...
