Hey! I am a college student with over 5 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored elementary school, high school, and even college students in a variety of subjects, including math, chemistry, and languages such as Spanish and English. I love seeing the "aha" moment in my students when they finally are able to wrap their heads around a difficult concept. When I teach, I like to use analogies to explain ideas in simpler terms and provide additional perspectives. However, I can adjust my methods based on feedback from the student.

I am a senior in high school who enjoys working with children. I have been tutoring for 3 years, for either my classmates, or with children. As a Kumon Tutor, I mostly worked with kids from preschool to 8th grade. Additionally, I also volunteered at a special education transitional kindergarten. I build bonds with my students and help them learn how to love studying. To do this, I will talk to both the parent and the child their preferred method of learning, welcoming any and all feedback. I look forward to working with you!
