K-8 Tutoring
My primary approach to academia below a High School level is through problem solving. If your student is able to succeed at understanding a complex topic and see logical issues with their own work, school will become more manageable.
Humanities
In any humanities course, like English or History, my first priority is developing a deep understanding of the content. When writing or editing papers, I prioritize strong outlines and big-picture flow; this method helps develop your student's ability to plan and write with more sophistication.
STEM
Mathematics and the sciences also require an intense knowledge of not only formulas and techniques, but also a commitment to understanding the logic behind such methods. I emphasize the understanding portion, preparing students to excel even in High School subjects that they are unfamiliar with.
Public Speaking
I've performed in over 15 musicals and plays over the course of my High School experience, and as such, have comprehensive knowledge about diction, pacing, tone, and delivery. Speaking confidently and coherently is an essential life skill and will help your student share their contributions more clearly.
Learning Styles
Memorization is an unavoidable fact of education, but by deducing how a student best memorizes information, memory-based tests and assignments can be conquered. I focus on the parts of academics that students enjoy and try to triangulate a student's learning style.
9-12th Tutoring
With High School tutoring, I focus on doing the best work with efficiency. Time management can become challenging with mountains of homework, especially if certain classes are more difficult for a student. Since the tendency is to rush to Sparknotes and Photomath, my aim is to help students master unfamiliar subjects by encouraging planning and logical understanding of a topic.
GENERAL HELP
I assist with each class through designing effective study habits, managing homework loads, and improving in all subjects.
SPECIFIED HELP
I focus on a specific difficult class, helping your student develop the confidence and skills to tackle new assignments on their own.
SAT AND ACT STUDYING
I have extensively studied the SAT and ACT sections, and can help diagnose what parts of the test a student struggles with. Learning how to play the "college test game" involves certain tricks, logical reasoning, and reviewing a lot of practice tests; I help in all these areas.
AP Classes and TESTS
I have extensive knowledge of AP Calculus, Chemistry, Language, Literature, Latin, and Psychology. I have passed, with a score of 4 or above, the AP test for all of these subjects. I am well equipped to help your student understand and study the content for these classes and tests.
College Essay Support
I have extensive experience in both peer-student editing and also have done some professional freelance editing for Lightlab Studios, Conscious Leadership Group, and Clearwater Security. I've developed a personal voice and have a good eye for organizing and helping other people find their own voices.
Presentation Design
I have extensive experience in Adobe Illustrator and have developed many infographics and presentations for culmination projects. I can assist with presentation flow, delivery, and artistic design.
