I'm Cecily S! I graduated from UCF with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. When I was younger I had a hard time in the classroom. Since then, I have created a bright education for myself by teaching myself important techniques. My education wouldn’t be where it is if not for my educators. Having special figures in my life not only made me a better student but also made me an even better tutor for others! My approach to tutoring is creating a learning environment fostered through compassion, patience, and understanding. All children can be great students, they just need an educator who can teach through their teaching style. My experience of elementary education tutoring and being a Registered Behavioral Technician allows me to even work with children with behavioral or learning disabilities!
With college students, I usually implement the Pomodoro Technique which has been shown to improve focus and reduce distractions.
I have three years of experience teaching elementary education, including basic mathematics, sciences, reading, and vocabulary. I have worked directly with students ages 2-17 in school, inpatient, and virtually. This experience allowed me to be prepared for any teaching environment. Most of my teaching experience came with my work as an RBT for 2 years, where I worked with children coping with behavioral disorders. I am a professional at dealing with a child who may not be willing to engage or focus and can direct the situation back to our work.
I worked as a small group tutor for Research Methods in Psychology and General Psychology. Working as a small group tutor I usually either would meet on Zoom or in the library where I would prep college students for their upcoming exams.
My goal is to be a guide for my students, to not only teach them for the present but prepare them for the future. I welcome all types of students who need a tutor and will accommodate them as needed if they have a disability! Ask any additional questions or contact me to schedule a lesson!
