Hi, I'm Dana and I graduated from St. Lawrence University with a Bachelors of Arts in English, and minors in Exercise Science, and Studio Art. I also have my Masters of Arts in Leadership from St. Lawrence University. I'm a running and cross country skiing coach and have experience tutoring all different kinds of people and meet them at the level they're at. I served a year in the AmeriCorps as a student teacher in an inner city middle school in Boston, MA. I worked primarily with 8th graders on humanities, helping them one on one or in groups in and out of the classroom. I had a small focus group with students from each class that I worked with everyday to make sure they received the help they needed to not fall behind. I also helped all middle school students before school on any type of homework help. I've tutored students from kindergarten through high school in math, reading, and writing, in and out of the classroom. Additionally, I've coached and mentored college student athletes, as well as elite athletes, at St. Lawrence University, Dartmouth College and the U.S Biathlon teams.

I realized the classes I enjoyed the most in college weren't always the topics I had the most interest in, but rather the professors who made it enjoyable. These professors were always engaging, made the lessons comprehensible, and were willing to help me when I needed it the most. I try to bring this knowledge to my tutoring approach and do everything I can to help make learning an awesome experience! I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

I am dedicated to helping students learn and grow! I'm easy to reach and will always provide fast responses. Feel free to contact me with questions or to schedule a lesson!

ADHD

ADHD

As a teacher in the AmeriCorps in Boston, MA for a year, I worked with and taught a wide variety of learners, including those who had short attention spans, ADHD, ADD, anxiety, and some who just needed individualized help with their school work. Teaching students who need extra support requires a lot of patience and creativity to make sure they are being helped in the most practical way. Previously as a collegiate coach and now a high school coach, I've worked with many different learners and I know that the way you explain something is not going to be the one and only way everyone understands the information. Learners with ADHD may benefit from several short breaks rather than powering through the lesson, or throwing a ball back and forth while they study something. Everyone learns differently, whether that's a visual, auditory, verbal, or kinesthetic learner, and when I go about teaching, I make sure to use various methods and ways of explaining to cater to all abilities.
Drawing

Drawing

I minored in Studio Art from St. Lawrence University and enjoy all types of drawing and painting. I enjoy making art in my free time using different mediums, often these include: charcoal, pastels, acrylics, oil paints, fine tip markers, pencils, pens, and more, but also applying them to canvas or different papers. I've always had a very steady hand, and an eye for perfection. I have taken art classes throughout my life in high school, college, and at local classes. My art has also been displayed at an art gallery in New York.
Fitness

Fitness

I have collegiately coached at St. Lawrence University for 2 years and Dartmouth College for 1 year, and am currently a high school assistant cross country running coach and a head nordic skiing coach. In the summers, I coach high school running and skiing. As a coach, I make sure to include various types of cross training into the workouts when appropriate, including: swimming, aqua-jogging, biking, strength, core exercises, running, hiking, roller-skiing, track workouts, mobility and more. As a former D1 athlete, I know the dedication, hard work, and persistence it takes to be an athlete and also the commitment it takes to own one's fitness. My coaching philosophy is to help all athletic levels grow, learn, reach their goals, and find their passion for a lifetime.

I've always had a very steady hand, and an eye for perfection. Painting takes a great deal of patience and creativity, but also an open mind and willingness to learn. I have taken art classes throughout my life in high school, college, and at local classes. My art has also been displayed at an art gallery in New York.
