Private tutor in Glen Allen, VA

Education

Graduated with Political Science degree from University of Mary Washington in May 2013 with 3.3 GPA.

Experience

I have previously tutored and taught in both traditional and non-traditional classroom settings. I was a tutor and mentor for 4 years in college with Big Brothers Big Sisters. I have also been a Team Leader for 3 summer at an academic and life skills camp called SuperCamp. SuperCamp employs the Quantum Learning method making learning more engaging and creative. I find this method is helpful for students who have trouble finding learning fun or find school boring. Lastly, I taught reading for one summer semester at Fondren Middle School in Houston, TX. I taught mainly 7th and 8th grade students, focusing specifically on reading and comprehension as well as some grammar, mechanics and writing. As a former IB student (both MYP and IB programme), I feel very familiar with the curriculum as well as the standards set for students in our school systems. I believe it's important to hold all students to high expectations so they will maintain high expectations for themselves. As a political science major and future law student, I love everything there is to know/learn about government and history. I also believe this subject can commonly be perceived as the most "boring" or complex, but in reality is the most enjoyable to teach and learn. I love getting interactive with the material and showing students that what they are learning impacts their lives. Every child can be a straight A student, it's all about finding their most effective learning method and support system.

Hobbies

One of my biggest hobbies is reading! I absolutely love to read, pretty much anything and everything. I love to shop and go thrifting, there is nothing better than finding a great deal! Once, I found a Barbour jacket at Goodwill for $35! You can't make that kind of thing up! I really enjoy cooking and baking but I don't get to do it often enough. I was an RA for 3 years in college and I was always making cookies or other tasty treats for my residents.
