Brooklyn’s current tutoring subjects are listed at the left. You

Brooklyn’s qualifications in specific subjects below.
Algebra 1
In high school, I took honors math classes up until my Senior year; this included Honors Algebra 1, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Geometry and Pre-Calculus. I also took College Algebra my Senior year, along with Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry.
I know that Algebra 1 and 2 provide a strong foundation for all other math courses taken, both in high school and college. I will focus in on what the main problem areas are, and what they stem from. I hope to increase your child's ability to grasp the subject while also learning to enjoy it.
Ballet
I have been classically trained since the age of three, starting with ballet and tap. Since then, I have taken jazz, hip-hop, pointe, contemporary, lyrical, gymnastics and of course, ballet and tap. I taught gymnastics for a year during high school. I love dancing, and I would love the opportunity to extend that to your child.
Elementary (K-6th)
I have recently been certified for most of the general subjects for tutoring on Wyzant. I have always loved children and have much experience with tutoring. I like to focus on the trouble areas while trying to allow your child to enjoy the subject and find reasons to at least like it. My personal favorite subjects are math, English, and history.
I think that the elementary age is important to developing the skills for junior high/high school. I have helped many children in elementary school understand the basics behind spelling, math, English, grammar, history, science, reading and writing; each are crucial.
Because I also tutored in high school, the main age group I focused on was K-8th. I will look at your child's course and evaluate (with you, them or both) where they are having trouble and what the main focus needs to be!
I have wanted to become a teacher for most of my life and am looking to obtaining my Teaching degree along with International Business degree.
Elementary Math
One of the easiest subjects to fall behind in is math! I took honors math courses all throughout high school, along with two math courses my Senior year. I have also taken two math courses while in college.
I know that it is important for your child to grasp these concepts early on, so that in the future, the transition to more difficult material will be smooth.
I hope to target the problem areas, while allowing him/her to enjoy the subject more.
English
English may be my favorite subject. I enjoy writing papers, reading books and analyzing different material! I received a scholarship my Freshman year of college for a paper I wrote.
The fundamentals of English can be established as early as elementary school. I do believe that I could help a high school English student learn to analyze the material they are reading better, and also teach them to develop papers with a higher caliber over time.
Geography
I have taken World Geography as a Junior in high school. I have continued to take other history and science classes that have developed from the material that I learned in that particular class.
I have tutored students in this class before, focusing on allowing the material to sink in and the test/quiz material involved.
Prealgebra
In high school, I took honors math classes up until my Senior year; this included Honors Algebra 1, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Geometry and Pre-Calculus. I also took College Algebra my Senior year, along with Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry.
I know that Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and 2 provide a strong foundation for all other math courses taken, both in high school and college. I will focus in on what the main problem areas are, and what they stem from. I hope to increase your child's ability to grasp the subject while also learning to enjoy it.
Social Studies
I took AP History in high school and also completed all four history classes in high school with high A's. In college, I have maintained A's in all history courses that I have taken thus far.
Study Skills
Study skills are an important part to a child's schooling. I would like to help your child develop the skills to manage when, where and how to study; this includes time management that it takes to juggle the masses of subjects and materials. Whether your child is in elementary school or high school, I believe that study skills will benefit he/she greatly both now and in the future! My ultimate goal would be to help them understand what works best for them while keeping them on track and focused on the tasks at hand.
In my first semester of college, I took a course that helped with time management skills, along with others. We kept planners and made schedules/calendars which helped focus the attention to important tasks at hand. I have also kept a planner since high school to write important dates, tests/quizzes, homework assignments, and updates so that no task is forgotten. I would try these methods along with helping your child better understand what he/she struggles with to help with time management for homework, in class assignments, and tests.
