Kathleen: PARCC course instructor
...Providence. I graduated from Cornell University in 2010 with a BA in Psychology. I dove into teaching right after college and taught 6th grade math. After a few years of teaching, I served as an Urban Education Fellow at Brown University. I love teaching math and working with students of all ages. I really love algebra concepts in particular! In my free time, I like to play soccer and surf at Narragansett Town Beach!... In the first session, I think it is important that we spend some time getting to know each other. I want to get an understanding of the goals you'd like to reach through tutoring and by what date. In addition to this, I also want to know how you learn best, especially if it is a challenging concept. Finally, I would want to diagnose your current level of understanding by going through a brief diagnostic.

Lindsay: PARCC course instructor
I am a passionate educator with a love of learning and teaching! I have three years of teaching experience (grades 1-5) at a technology school. I understand that each individual student learns differently and I have ample experience finding resources and instructional methods to match the needs of each learner. I hold all students to the highest expectations and believe that all children are capable of success.... My philosophy is centered around the core concept of teaching children how to be problem solvers. They need to know how to approach and think about any given problem. It is okay to make mistakes, as they are learning opportunities. Persistence and confidence in oneself as a learner are the key skills to ensure success in life.
