Greetings! I am a high school counselor who is very patient, understanding, and extremely friendly. I have much experience working with youth between the ages of 5 and 20. I am a very diverse and well-rounded individual having majored in Adolescent Psychology and English and minoring in Women's Studies while I was in undergrad. I am also well traveled and as a result am a very culturally diverse and sensitive person. I have been to Brazil and spent time studying in Japan and South Africa when I was in college. I am currently working on becoming certified to teach English and Special Education and hope to begin teaching by next fall since teaching is where my true passion lies. My style for teaching/tutoring encompasses a strength-based perspective, which recognizes and utilizes the strength of each student and use those strengths to help ameliorate areas that need improvement. I understand that every student has their own unique individual strengths and talents and I do not belittle or patronize any student who struggles with particular coursework but rather, genuinely help them to succeed through creative and innovative means. I do not use the same teaching style or approach for each student because I know that no two students are alike and no two students learn the same way. I hope this gives you a good idea of what type of tutor I am and what I can offer to students in need of extra services. Thanks for viewing my profile!!
