Experience
I am an experienced tutor who has worked successfully with students of widely varying ability levels. A lifelong learner myself, I enjoy communicating my enthusiasm for a subject to my students. I have worked as a volunteer tutoring middle school and high school students from low-income backgrounds. At the community college remedial level, I worked for eight years tutoring students full time. I tutor students who have learning disabilities as well as students who are gifted. This wide and deep experience has developed my skills in various methods of guiding students towards academic success and empowerment.While I tutor many different subjects, my favorite subjects to teach are Math, Computer Science, and Test Prep. These are areas where the results that I help my students to achieve are easily measurable. When a student feels lost or frustrated while studying one of these subjects, I am able to help them by organizing the material so that they can make small steps forward, which add up to increased confidence and mastery. I firmly believe that each student can find a path to successful learning, given enough caring and individualized instruction.I graduated from Rowan University and earned my B.A. in Theater Education and my M.A. in Theater Studies from Montclair State University. I love knitting, technology, and learning new things.
