As a graduate from UNC Asheville with a BA in literature and a BA in sociology, and as a lover of learning, I am passionate about helping others reach their academic goals. I am also patient and open to creative teaching methods, because utilizing creativity has helped me achieve my own goals. I have worked with high school and middle school students in SAT and ACT prep classes, and am open to tutoring all ages. As an individual on the autism spectrum, I also understand other autistic people well and am detail oriented, thorough, and dedicated to the success of all students including students with exceptionalities. During my undergraduate career my concentration was in creative and analytical writing and as such I am best suited to help with essay structuring and writing, but I am also well suited to assist in test prep and reading due to my education and my passion for these subject areas. I love to read and write, and I look forward to hearing from you and sharing my passion and skill sets.

I'm a non-directive, dynamic writing tutor who's worked with a wide range of comfort levels in a wide range of settings. Which is to say: need help with test prep? Playing catch-up in class? Preparing for presentations or needing to revise a piece of writing? I've helped a lot of tutees in all of these situations and more, and love working collaboratively with anyone looking for assistance.I have 3+ years of tutoring experience, both inside and out of tutoring centers; high levels of success with tutoring; and a bevy of professional accolades and publications across a wide range of fields, including critical essays, poetry, and public presentation. I'm fluent in a number of academic styles, and am trained to resolve crises and stressors inside tutoring sessions, as well. I can't wait to meet you!

I am a graduate of the University of NC-Asheville and Western Carolina University where I earned a Masters in Mathematics degree and a doctorate in Educational Leadership. I taught mathematics for 11 years before serving as a school administrator in elementary, middle, high and university settings. I have recently retired and enjoy tutoring students of all ages in the subject of mathematics. I am a firm proponent of education and I try to instill a love for learning within all of my students. Helping others find success and feel good about their accomplishments is what it is all about! In my spare time I enjoy traveling, reading, swimming and spending time with family. I am happy to be of service to you.

I have an M.Ed in Special Needs and Inclusive Education. I have worked for the past several years one-on-one with with neurodiverse students, particularly those with autism and ADHD. I primarily work with students in teaching executive functioning and life skills. I like to empower students through self-knowledge of their diagnosis and taking ownership in developing their own strategies that work best with their unique learning styles.

I am multi-faceted and ever-changing. I graduated from UNC-Asheville with a degree in Literature, specializing in Non-Fiction Creative Writing and minored in Psychology. I have experience as a content-writer/copy-writer and I consider writing one of my top art forms.I have experience managing businesses and employees, meaning I am effective at time-management, delegation, prioritizing, and leading teams.I furthered my education in trade school at AVEDA Institute at Chapel Hill and am a licensed and practicing Cosmetologist.I love color and anything creative; it's a huge part of who I am and why I exist. I have taken art since kindergarten all the way up throughout college in almost all mediums. The ones I am strongest and most passionate about are dance, painting (mostly abstract), writing, and any sort of "making something look prettier than it was before".I am a working artist, represented by ArtLifting and have taught others to learn how to get outside of the box we sometimes can be stuck in that deters us from limitless possibilities in art and life.I have taught dance to as little as 1 student up to a full classroom of dancers, ages 2 and up.I am very sensitive to students' needs and my teaching style is a hybrid style that molds to what works best for my student.I believe everyone is capable of achieving their goals and a lot of how I teach also revolves around working on confidence, resiliency, having a beginner's mind, and having fun.I hope that I will be able to help you achieve your goals and I trust my own teaching skills that you might have some fun along the way!

My objective during our sessions begins with assessing your strengths and weaknesses academically to accommodate to your learning style. We will eventually develop a study habit to set your priority level for success. Also, we can find available resources online or at the library. The more you learn from other available resources, the more you can establish your style to learn and remember the material. Towards the last session, we will set a goal you would like to meet after your success.I am currently a middle school math teacher for Hampton City Schools but love to tutor various subjects. I am in the process of completing my endorsement for Algebra I.Math can be an extremely intimidating topic to learn if abstract ideas seem to accommodate to the math lovers only? I feel differently. Math is for anyone and everyone who wants to be successful and open their minds beyond three dimensions. I turn the abstract to concrete ideas, and work at your pace to learn the math you struggle to do. Let's develop a love for math and understand math in your own way. I look forward to working with you to become successful and appreciate math in a different manner.I patiently and diligently work to plan the lesson according to your needs. I will make sure you understand the math in a concrete manner, yet challenge you to critically think of math in a different tone.I have taken the ASVAB and scored a 70 without studying.I am available after 4 P.M. Monday - Friday during the school year, and am available after 12 P.M. during summer school hours.

Beyond the beauty and usefulness of math itself, mathematical problem solving teaches deduction and logic that are applicable far beyond numbers to every facet of daily life.

Overall, I have ten years of tutoring in a professional capacity, five years of teaching at the college level, and several years of volunteering experience. Through these experiences, I have encountered various types of learning disabilities and language acquisition issues, and I have taken workshops on how to navigate these particular situations. Building student confidence in their ability to learn is an integral part of the tutoring process because student confidence is vital to teaching students healthy study skills and habits that they can take into other areas of their academic life. I really want to work with clients who want to learn how to become more confident and competent in their abilities, regardless of how much red ink they have seen!

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in December 2021, and completed my teaching licensure requirements there, as well, in both Elementary Education (K6) and Special Education (K12) in April 2022. I recently completed my student teaching in a 4th grade classroom in North Carolina. I have a passion for nurturing minds and helping students grow so that they can reach for their own dreams. I get particularly excited when I can work with students in developing their executive functioning skills such as organization and how to support a limited working memory. I am prepared to tutor any age student.

I started teaching students as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina Asheville where as a junior and senior I tutored freshman and sophomores in general and organic chemistry. Seeing the lights of understanding in my students eyes was what hooked me.Teaching community college helped refine my teaching style and showcase the importance of keeping students focused on their goals while keeping classes interesting.After earning a bachelors degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Asheville I received my masters in biochemistry and molecular biology from Wake Forest University.When I tutor I try to bring in real life examples based on what I know interests my student and keep students motivated by keeping them focused on their goals.Helping students surpass me is the most rewarding experience.
