"I have years of experience tutoring and have found it to be genuinely rewarding and engaging work. Most recently, I have worked as an at-school tutor with Sylvan Learning. The program provided interventionist tutoring for elementary students in English Language Arts and Math. I have experience with every single grade level in elementary school. The ELA curriculum I have taught covers phonics and word study, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. I have helped ESL students and new readers; I have helped reading students improve their proficiency with reading, synthesizing, and writing. The Math curriculum I have taught has covered all relevant subjects: addition, subtraction, fractions, time, and money for the younger students and multiplication, division, and pre-algebra for the older students. I have worked with students one-on-one. I have worked with groups of five children at a time from all levels of proficiency. With my background, I can instruct students on the fundamentals of English Language Arts and Math and help improve their skills. I can help any student build their confidence and competency in their subjects.

I'm a professional writer by trade. I am passionate about all forms of writing. I love studying and playing with story structure; I love building compelling characters and telling authentic stories; I love talking all things creativity with other writers and artists alike. This experience has made me a proficient creative writing and screenwriting instructor, as well has informs my perspective on the importance of creativity in the learning process.

When tutoring, I provide a warm environment where students aren't afraid to make mistakes or take risks. I prioritize engaging with materials in an active manner where students can improve their confidence and prove to themselves their innate abilities. I would love to work with any students who would like support in English Language Arts K-12, Math K-6, and Creative Writing for all ages, tailored to your interests. Let's learn together!" less...
