Hart's Tutoring
About
Hello, My name is Christina and I have experience working as a tutor offically through my college and unoffically helping fellow students. Later I worked with nursing students as a clinical instructor to help them with basic Med Surg, Pediatrics and Critical Care settings. I have a bachelor degree in biochemistry, a bachelor degree in nursing, and a masters degree in nursing. I have worked with students at all levels including those with English as a second language to help them succeed.
I love how much the students have challenged me to become even better. I love seeing the "light bulb" come on when the student understands, learning not to overcompliate the lesson and to trust in thier his or her own abilities.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
To get to know a little about the student and specifically the student's goals. We can disccus the topic to determine where the student is in understanding the topic and to find out if the student feels there is a certain issue he or she does not understand. Then we can make a plan together to help the student meet his or her goals.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from California Polytechnic State University with minors in Psychology and Spanish. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Arizona State University, graduated with honors. I have a Master of Science degree from Nebraska Methodist College, graduated with honors. Additionally I have tutored while a student and since have worked as a clinical instructor.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

Be honest about what you know and do not know. Don't be afraid to share your goals. Find someone you feel comfortable working with, that will support you and want you to be successful. A good tutor will not just give you the answers but help to learn to understand.

Students should determine what their most important goals are. The student should know her strengths and how she or he learns best. Sharing this infortmaion with the tutor can helo the tutor best help the student succeed.
