Hello there!

My name is Cara and I can't wait to get to know you. Here's some background information about me: I graduated cum laude in 2019 with a Bachelors in Sociology and concentrations in Human Development and Anthropology. That means I know a lot about how people work, particularly children. I use that expertise everyday with the students that I tutor. In addition to my collegiate experience, I also have taken and passed the Middle School Social Studies Praxis exam as well as the Elementary Education Praxis exam which proves my knowledge of those content areas.

I have been a tutor for the last four years, so I feel I've really gotten into the groove of tutoring and really enjoy the one-on-one experience. In that time, I've worked with students in grades K-8 in all four of the core subjects. I have also been a substitute teacher for about a year now, and cherish opportunities to work with groups of students. Likewise, I spent a summer teaching virtual reading classes which has given me some expertise in working with students in a digital classroom setting. Each of these positions has taught me how important it is to approach children with empathy, kindness, and warmth. I want to see your child succeed, and I understand that they are most able to do that when they feel safe and secure with the educators in their lives.

To that end, please feel free to reach out anytime if you'd like to know more about the services I can provide. I try to respond quickly and am quite easy to reach. If you would like to schedule a meeting or ask me any questions, please reach out. I look forward to getting to know you.

Approved Subjects

Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I passed the Elementary Math Praxis exam with a score of 197 out of 200. Math is the subject I have spent the most time tutoring as it is something I find a lot of students struggle with. I also struggled with math when I was in school and take great care to teach or re-teach different methods for solving the same problems.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I passed the Elementary Praxis exam with a score of 183 out of 200, which indicates that I possess the necessary content knowledge to teach ELA. Along with grammar and reading, it is not uncommon for me to be called upon to proofread, edit, and help students construct their essays. Additionally, while I was an undergraduate student, I gained experience writing in three citation styles; MLA, APA, and Chicago. Likewise, I had several papers submitted by professors to my college's writing center to be used as samples of excellent writing.
Grammar

Grammar

I passed the Elementary Praxis exam with a score of 183 out of 200. Grammar and reading are two of the subjects I spend the most time tutoring (outside of math) and I've been tutoring the subject for the past 4 years. I really love helping students understand the rules of grammar.
Praxis

Praxis

I have taken both the Middle School Social Studies Praxis and the Elementary Education Praxis. For Middle School Social Studies, I received a score of 183. For Elementary Education, I received a 183 in Reading & Language Arts, a 192 in Science, a 197 in Mathematics, and a 199 in Social Studies. I would be most willing to help another future teacher succeed in passing these exams.

Reading and grammar are two of the subjects I spend the most time tutoring (outside of math) and I've been tutoring the subject for the past 4 years. It's not uncommon for students in elementary and middle school to struggle with their reading classes, and getting to help them understand how to decode texts is so rewarding.
