I tutor to support students in their growth and achievement of their definition of success. The most rewarding moments for me are seeing students achieve proficiency at a skill they previously thought would be impossible to master.
As a teacher, my proudest moments were working with students to achieve their goal scores on the AP Environmental Science and Computer Science exams. I enjoyed building students' skills and confidence, especially when they initially had some doubts about their academic abilities.
Co-constructing learning plans with students to best suit their learning preferences and goals.
Positive learning environments start with relationship building, so that students can feel comfortable asking questions and taking academic risks.
