My name is Megan and I am a proud alumnus of North Carolina State University, majoring in Animal Science and minoring in Psychology. I was a member of the Honors program, a member of the Society of Research and Inquiry, the Sustainability Committee, and the Society of Public Scholarship. I received a grant to run my own program named "Tea Time," which focused on scholarly applications outside of the classroom. I have been working since the age of thirteen and I have been tutoring for the past nine years, beginning with part-time hours during high school and college and progressing to tutoring full-time for the past four years. My teaching style is hands-on, utilizing me as a demonstrator or model, and allowing the student to apply that knowledge on their own. I appreciate questions from the student, curiosity, and student participation. I utilize real world examples to exhibit the significance of the topic and encourage interest and passion in the acquisition of knowledge.

My first tutoring experience came from the Learnworks program that focused on helping elementary school students that were referred to the community center for behavioral problems, learning disorders, and trouble with English. I spent over ten hours a week for two years in high school tutoring and leading the Cooking and Drama clubs. I worked with the same third and fourth grade students each day, and helped bring their grades up. In college, I have privately tutored college students in English, Biology, Finite Maths, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Chemistry, and Psychology courses. I create the majority of my curriculum, incorporating diverse resources that cater to auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners. I build profiles on my students so that I can record their progress, strengths and weakness, and the most effective study and learning strategies for them. I differentiate studying strategies for process-based and memorization-based courses and integrate the teaching of study skills into every course to increase the retention of the mat

Public Speaking

I took COM 110 while at North Carolina State University, which is the Public Speaking course. I obtained an A in the course, and tutored my Chinese friend in COM 110 the following semester, also aiding in improving her English. I have a strong English background, obtaining a 5 on the AP English test and an A in IB English in high school. I also have spoken at many events, and served as a Culture to Culture Ambassador, which is similar to an Orientation Leader for International students. This requires public speaking skills, especially since not all of the students are fully proficient at English.

Exceptional Educator and Mentor

Megan is an outstanding educator with an exceptional ability to teach all subjects. She played a crucial role in helping my daughter prepare for the SAT, providing both expert guidance and unwavering support. Thanks to Megan's dedication and effective teaching methods, my daughter performed exceptionally well on the exam. I highly recommend Megan to any student looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring tutor!

Great tutor to help increase test scores!

Megan has been a terrific tutor for my daughter. Her test scores have improved a great deal and she is very happy with the progress. Her schedule is flexible as well as the meeting location.

Brad, 7 lessons with Megan

Knowledgeable and comprehensive

Doing a fabulous job getting my son prepped for the SAT. He is a tough critic and is really enjoying working with her, feeling the sessions are very worthwhile. She clearly knows her stuff and is effective in conveying the material, keeping him engaged.

Super knowledgeable with easy-going style

Megan has been a terrific tutor for my daughter's chemistry honors course. Megan combines expert knowledge with an easy-going tutoring approach that worked wonders. My daughter originally approached chem with an attitude of "it's just going to be too hard". Megan quickly transformed that attitude, and my daughter ended up with an "A" in the course, and most importantly, increased confidence in her abilities. Thanks, Megan!

Knowledgeable and effective tutor

Megan has been an excellent resource for supporting my daughter prepare for the SAT and for teaching her study strategies that have resulted in more than 8 point improvement on her tests at the community college level.

Kim, 7 lessons with Megan

Very helpful!

Helped my son raise his grade from a low F to a high B in just a few weeks, just in time for the final! Couldn't have done it without her. Would recommend to others.

Knowledgeable, Patient, Well Organized

Megan was awesome. She was well organized and prepared for my son's tutoring session in Algebra. He was preparing for a test and was more confident in knowing the material when he was done. She also followed up with some practice problems for him to do before taking his test just to make sure he understood the material and provided the answers for us to check once he was done. I will definitely use her again.

The utter thoughtfulness she gives to each student is incredible

With every lesson (and only 2 so far), the confidence level of my daughter increases. Obviously teachers have a daunting task to teach classes with upwards of 25 students per class. Megan not only understands the material, she takes the time to understand the student, and tailor the lessons to focus on those deficiencies. I’m very pleased thus far.

Megan knows her students.....

Megan knows her Math and English. She is so patient and has gotten our daughter very confident in taking the test. We will be using Megan every chance we get. Thank you Megan
