I am a professional student with a hunger for knowledge and a passion for helping others achieve their academic goals. I have a bachelor's degree from CUNY Medgar Evers College and I tutor grades 1-8.

My Tutoring Style:

I am a motivated tutor that is excited about the subjects I instruct. I modify my teaching methods based on the needs of my students, moving at their pace, repeating myself when necessary, or starting at a higher level. To make learning enjoyable, I try to incorporate comparable real-world scenarios whenever I can. I like getting students involved in class by questioning them about their methods and mental processes. I reinforce the subjects we cover together by going over them again until the student feels confident enough to handle them independently.

Success Story:

During my an undergrad semester my Calculus professor approached my about tutoring  other adult students in the learning center. I was charged with an individual who was struggling  from the beginning of the semester, as he did not have a solid foundation in mathematics  making it difficult to grasp the concepts.  I was able to work with him on foundational concepts and add in current in class topics. I am happy to say that i was able to to boost his confidence in his work, which was evident in his quiz and midterm grades. I worked with him for the rest of the semester ultimately taking him from a 57 average to a 86 in a class he was repeating for the second time.

Hobbies & Interests:

In my free time I enjoy the outdoors and the many offerings of nature in the form of biking/ walking trails during the summer and fall months. During the winter i ski and board at every available opportunity, it's an exhilarating sport that I picked up 5 years ago. If  I'm not doing any of the before mentioned I am more than likely trying out different cultural foods.
