About
My name is Madison Brooks, and I am a student at Belmont University currently completing my undergraduate degree in psychology and elementary education. During this unprecendented time of remote learning for students of all ages, I am passionate about helping overworked parents engage their children in the new ways of education. I have worked with students ranging from Pre-K to 8th grade in various subjects and various capacities; creating lesson plans, providing one-on-one tutoring, giving extra academic and emotional supports to students who need it, managing multiple students at a time, and creating fun and innovative ways of learning. In attempt at increasing health and safety, my tutoring is only offered online. However, I will work with your student's needs to try to make online learning as personalized and engaging as it can be.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Identifying an individual student's needs is always the first step. A fun get-to-know-you game, learning about the student's interests, then asking specifically what they need help with makes for a more beneficial tutoring session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked with students of all ages creating lessons and providing homework help throughout my entire high school and college career. Additionally, I am currently working on my Master's in elementary education.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$30/hr for elementary lessons (PreK-5)
$40/hr for secondary lessons (6-12)
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Before the first tutoring session, a student should consider:
- specific concepts they struggle with
- subjects they do not enjoy
- subjects they do enjoy
- their favorite way to learn; listening to someone tell them about a concept, building physical objects, writing out step-by-step plans, solving equations, reading instructions, etc.
- any problems they consistently have while learning; paying attention, writing, listening, mixing up numbers & letters, etc.
