Bio

Hello, I'm Leanette. Graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s in business management; a minor in communications. During college, the cohort I’d participated was not really about the subjects we’d studied, or the tasks at hand. But rather the professors who’d made the learning enjoyable.

Hello, I'm Leanette. Graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s in business management; a minor in communications. During college, the cohort I’d participated was not really about the subjects we’d studied, or the tasks at hand. But rather the professors who’d made the learning enjoyable. With constant interactions or immersive learning. They were always engaging and understanding when teaching the material. Going the extra mile when asked for additional help or clarification. I have used that experience and knowledge to my classroom and tutoring approach, and for everything else. To make a learning a fun and engaging pleasant experience. I use lesson plans that I typically introduce in topic during a fun, creative way. Then explicitly teach the material. Afterward I typically ensure the time for my students, for practicing on their own. This method- fully adjustable based on the subject, and that student's individual learning path or needs.

I have several years direct tutoring in the 4th - 8th grades in English, History, Mathematics, and Social Studies. I work directly with any student who may need additional assistance. But also can-do small focus group of 1-6 students. The ones who need the most assistance and attention. Working directly so that they do not fall behind. I’ve held tutoring sessions after school, where students would come to me about any homework or worksheet assistance. In the setting I've tutored not only English, but also Social Studies. Mathematics, and History.

I want to benefit my students by collaborating with them as much as possible, thereby welcoming any resources or suggestions they or their parents may provide. I am easy to reach and communicate with - always providing prompt responses. Feel free to reach out and contact me about any additional questions or about scheduling a lesson.
