Personal Statement
"As a teacher, I so often witnessed students struggling in group settings, only to grow by leaps and bounds when given individualized instruction. It’s amazing to watch -- a student sits in class, frustrated and full of self-doubt, believing they can never grasp the material at hand...and then someone takes a closer look at them, sees what they’re missing, and starts teaching. And that student finally, happily, excels.
In my years as a tutor and a teacher, I have worked very hard to be that “someone” who can look closely at a student, and help them learn. And after years of tutoring and experience in a Special Education setting, I can say that I become an excellent detective and an effective educator. I see the gaps in student understanding and I work effectively and efficiently to fill them.
I have always been mathematically-minded, and am most effective tutoring math concepts all the way up through Algebra 2, as well as various computer applications.
I love tutoring. I love connecting with students, and I love watching that light go on when a person finally “gets it.” As a tutor, my greatest and happiest moments are when students work through confusion and misunderstanding to achieve aptitude, and most importantly, confidence."
