I am a junior at Vanderbilt University studying Child Development and Art History, and I have always had a passion for tutoring and mentorship. Although most of my tutoring experience has been for elementary students in reading and math, I am most excited about tutoring middle and high schoolers because the subjects that are learned during these times are so much more detailed, dynamic, and interesting! These were also the years where my love of learning really took shape, and getting the opportunity to foster this same love and appreciation for learning in other students excites me. I am most passionate about Art History, US History, and Statistics, but also love tutoring in middle school Math and Pre-Algebra, as well as French, writing, and grammar. My teaching style is centered around building a strong relationship with students so that they feel comfortable asking any and all questions they may have about a subject. As someone who sometimes has a hard time speaking up in class to ask my teachers questions when I have them, I have always placed great emphasis on making sure my tutoring space is a safe place where students are not afraid of asking these questions and making mistakes! The most valuable lesson I have learned over the course of my academic career thus far is that there is just as much, if not more, that can be learned from mistakes compared to when you get the answer right the first time.
