Multiversal Tutoring
About
As a trained life scientist with a Masters degree in education, I bring to tutoring a bevy of tools and practices to help students & clients reach understanding, mastery, and application of various science, philosophy, and social science subjects. With these diagnostic tools, I am able to individualize lessons and implement imaginative learning methods based upon student/client needs and styles of learning. Setting our sights than on obtaining specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound academic goals.
I have experience in several education settings and philosophies ranging from middle/high schoolers to teaching in Montessori and Reggio settings. I also have experience working with students/clients with disabilities.
Please feel free to reach out with questions about my practice or to see if we'd be a good fit.
Looking forward to joining you on your road to learning!

I revel in watching the engagement, joy, and excitement of watching a student grow in understanding of a specific topic or content that may have been challenging or difficult to grasp. The confidence that it instills in the student to grow from, maybe "I'm not smart", to with time, habit and practice "I CAN" grow to understand and/or change ways of thinking to master a specific problem set are profound.
