About Me

Hello! I love tutoring and have experience tutoring both on a volunteer basis and professionally. I used to work for a private tutoring company, where I tutored kids of all grades in really all subjects, including some SAT/ACT prep and standardized testing prep. Math and English are my favorite subjects to tutor (of course) but I enjoy teaching and tutoring in all its forms! I also used to be a Coach for Let's Get Ready, meaning that as a volunteer, I conducted an SAT and college readiness course for a class of around 10 high school students. I also helped with editing their college essays and answering all of their college questions. Currently, I spend an average of at least 2-3 hours per week in Boston Public School classrooms, where I assist teachers and work with students one-on-one who would benefit from extra help. I do this every semester here at school, averaging 30 hours per semester in classrooms, and I love interacting with students! I also have experience working with younger children with literacy and phonics, through an AmeriCorps program called Jumpstart. Here I was lucky enough to conduct a pre-school classroom with a team of my peers. Not only was it adorable, but it was also tons of fun!

Q&A with Holly

My teaching philosophy is CARING! Being attentive and caring to each individual student's specific needs is the most important part of teaching. No one learns the same, and maintaining that you care about each learner individually keeps the student expectations high and morale up. High expectations plus high morale = student motivation to learn.
