Dive In! Tutoring and Peer Mentorship

Rebecca R.

Hello!

I am a returning tutor to the Wyzant platform. My prior tutoring experience includes Peer mentorship in highschool, community outreach teaching through highschool and into college, and now working with my daughter to teach her the recorder and clarinet as well as expanding her academic horizons. I take great pride in my work and great joy in watching students improve. I am a stay at home parent for my daughter at the moment, so I am available on very flexible hours.

I have more recent experience in the realms of nutrition, English spelling and grammer, Elementary science, mathematics, and social studies, writing (academically and creatively). I prefer to use outside materials to teach for the younger age group rather than simply sitting and working through homework. I believe sometimes students can begin to use tutors as a crutch to get through their work without actually improving.

I believe that everyone has the ability to improve within them and that too often we overlook what's hiding underneath due to the speed at which we expect students to learn. I aim to meet students where they are and raise them up by allowing them to gain the confidence that they need to succeed.

I look forward to meeting you!
