About Whitney


Bio

Hi! I’m Whitney, and I’m so glad you’re here. I specialize in tutoring math and science for students in grades 3 through 8. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master of Science in Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies, where I discovered my passion for teaching while leading college-level lab sessions. That experience inspired me to earn my teaching certification, and I’ve been a certified classroom teacher for over 11 years.

Hi! I’m Whitney, and I’m so glad you’re here. I specialize in tutoring math and science for students in grades 3 through 8. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master of Science in Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies, where I discovered my passion for teaching while leading college-level lab sessions. That experience inspired me to earn my teaching certification, and I’ve been a certified classroom teacher for over 11 years.

Throughout my teaching career, I’ve worked extensively with upper elementary and middle school students in both math and science. I’ve taught in traditional classroom settings, led small group interventions, and provided one-on-one support to help students of all ability levels. My tutoring style is encouraging, structured, and confidence-focused. I believe that when students feel safe to make mistakes and learn from them, real growth happens. I use questioning strategies, visual models, hands-on examples, and real-world applications to make difficult concepts more accessible and engaging.

Whether your child is struggling to keep up, needs help with homework, or wants to deepen their understanding, I’m here to support them every step of the way. I can work with your child’s current curriculum or provide my own high-quality resources to meet their individual needs. I’d love the opportunity to help your child grow in confidence and develop a love for math and science!
