Isadora

I am a certified tutor with over 5 years of experience in classrooms and groups teaching humanities, grammar, and writing techniques to a wide range of students. I am currently an undergraduate student at Fordham University and I tutor grades PK - 8.

My tutoring style:

I am a passionate and dedicated teacher who is enthusiastic to help others thrive and grow in areas they may be struggling in. I utilize mastery learning, in addition to considering the unique learning styles of each student. Setting a foundation of understanding and then going step by step is key to a real understanding of a topic or concept. I reinforce learned strategies and meet students where they are, at any level, until the student is able to apply such strategies on their own with success.

Success story:

One of my favorite success stories is when I helped an 8th-grade student not just pass her U.S. History Regents exam, but gain the second-highest grade in her school. Despite having some understanding of learning and studying strategies, she struggled to retain information and apply it during tests. We met 3-5 times over the course of 4 months, and she was able to raise her grade from an 80 to a 98! She is now currently attending college for her bachelor's degree.

Hobbies and interests:

When I'm not tutoring, I love listening to music and dancing! I've been a dancer for 10+ years. I also enjoy hiking and being in nature.
