With over five years of experience teaching in high school emotional support settings, and additional expertise in autistic support, I bring a unique and invaluable skill set to tutoring. I have taught individuals across a wide range of age groups, from kindergarten through high school. My 3 years of emotional support experience specifically includes tutoring at the high school level to help students maintain or raise their grades. Additionally, I taught for two years in a high school autistic support classroom. These 5 years have involved a mixture of both classroom settings and one-on-one instruction. Beyond this, I have several years of volunteer experience working with students of all ability levels and ages.
I’m not just an academic guide; I’m also adept at fostering personal growth and practical life skills. My ability to provide comprehensive academic support across high school science, math, and ELA, combined with my specialized instruction in transition, independent living, and job skills, makes me an incredibly well-rounded educator. This breadth of knowledge allows me to address the diverse needs of students, preparing them not only for academic success but also for a smooth transition into their post-high school lives.
Beyond my teaching background, my ability to connect with students truly sets me apart. I am easy to work with and excel in building strong rapport, which is crucial for effective learning, especially with students who may need additional emotional or behavioral support. My track record of successfully helping students maintain or raise their grades is a testament to my engaging approach and commitment to progress. Also, my blend of academic expertise, specialized support experience, and exceptional interpersonal skills make me an outstanding choice for any student seeking a supportive and effective tutor.
