Experienced Academic Tutor for K-8 Students

Lola M.

Hi! My name is Lola, and I’m currently a college student majoring in Environmental Studies with a passion for health and wellness. I spent two years at Virginia Tech and am now transferring to the University of Washington to finish my degree. I’ve always loved helping people learn in ways that actually make sense to them — whether that’s breaking down complex topics, organizing assignments, or finding practical study habits that stick.
For the past year, I’ve worked as a college-level peer mentor, helping students solidify study skills, manage course loads, understand challenging material, and stay motivated through the semester. I’ve made the Dean’s List three times in college and graduated with high honors in high school, which reflects my commitment to learning and academic excellence. I also have experience in one-on-one settings, helping with writing, a wide range of math material, economics, and general study support. Additionally, I’ve spent over five years working as a nanny, which has given me an extensive understanding of elementary and middle school education, study habits, and learning styles. I know what it’s like to juggle a busy schedule, so I focus on creating personalized, low-stress sessions that build confidence and clarity.
My tutoring style is encouraging and conversational — I want students to feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new ways to learn. Whether your child needs help building confidence in math, staying organized with assignments, or improving reading and writing skills, I bring patience, structure, and positivity to every session to make learning feel approachable and rewarding.
