Hello! My name is Sharon K., and I am currently a student at Emory University studying Biology and Music. I recently completed the IB program in high school, where I developed a solid foundation in subjects like math, science, writing, grammar, and music. My coursework emphasized critical thinking, problem-solving, and clear communication, which are skills I bring into every tutoring session. In addition to academics, I have extensive experience in music performance and theory as a pianist, which has strengthened my discipline, patience, and ability to break down complex concepts into manageable steps.
I have several years of teaching and mentoring experience in both formal and informal settings. As an instructor at a music academy, I worked with young students, helping them learn piano fundamentals and guiding them through lessons independently. This role required me to adapt my teaching style to different learning speeds and personalities, ensuring each student felt supported and confident. I have also provided one-on-one advising to high school students for the college application process, helping them navigate academic challenges and develop effective study strategies. Through volunteer work and leadership roles, I have gained experience working with a wide range of abilities (physical and mental disabilities), ages, from elementary students to high schoolers, in both structured and personalized environments.
I aim to create a comfortable, trusted, and encouraging environment where students feel confident asking questions. I break down difficult topics step by step, use real-world examples, and tailor sessions to each student’s learning style. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades, but also to help them develop confidence and independent learning skills that will benefit them long-term!
