Hi! My name is Caitlyn, and I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. I have a strong academic background in science and mathematics and a passion for helping students develop confidence in their abilities. Having spent over 10 years as a student in Kumon, I understand the value of consistent practice, strong foundational skills, and individualized instruction. My own academic experience has shaped my approach to tutoring and taught me the importance of patience, persistence, and finding the learning strategies that work best for each student.
Through my tutoring business, Slinkard’s Study Squad, I have worked with approximately 10 regular students ranging in age from 11 to 22. I have experience tutoring subjects from elementary mathematics to college-level chemistry and physics, as well as helping students strengthen their understanding of challenging concepts and develop effective study habits. I work one-on-one with students and tailor each session to their individual needs, learning style, and academic goals. Rather than simply providing answers, I guide students through problems step by step, encourage them to ask questions, and help them develop the skills to solve problems independently.
I believe learning should be an encouraging experience where students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking for help. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades but also to build lasting confidence and a genuine understanding of the material. I offer both online tutoring through Zoom and in-person sessions, and I enjoy building supportive relationships with students and their families. I look forward to helping students reach their academic goals and discover their potential!
