I have been tutoring students for more than five years and have worked with children across a variety of ages and learning styles focusing mostly on fundamental math skills. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education, and my upper-level college studies focused on American Sign Language interpretation. My background includes coursework in teaching methods, learning and development, ASL, Deaf culture, and interpreting between English and ASL/PSE. I especially enjoy working with students in math and ASL, and I am comfortable helping with elementary math, prealgebra, Algebra 1, homework support, foundational skill-building, and beginner to intermediate ASL practice.
My approach to tutoring is patient, flexible, and focused on understanding rather than memorization. If a student is struggling with a concept, I try to identify exactly where the confusion started and explain it in a different way instead of simply repeating the same steps. I like breaking larger problems into smaller, manageable pieces and helping students understand why a process works so they can eventually complete similar problems on their own. I also want students to feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes without feeling rushed or embarrassed.
One of the things I enjoy most about tutoring is seeing a student go from feeling frustrated or unsure to realizing that they actually can understand the material. My goal is to support students with the work in front of them while also helping them build stronger skills and more confidence for the future. Whether a student needs regular weekly support, help catching up in a difficult area, practice before a test, or someone to work through homework with them, I am happy to adapt sessions to their individual needs and goals.
