Experience
The foundation of my tutoring philosophy is simple: practice! I have experience tutoring children as young as eight to as old as eighteen. In fact, tutoring was the first job I ever had, and with many younger siblings and cousins in my life, my world is full of teaching opportunities. When a new tutoring student comes to me for help, I focus on the basics, so they have a solid understanding of the subject in order to move forward into complex concepts. I have also seen students begin to have fun in previously difficult academic areas after everything clicks into place and the light bulb goes off over their head. Once they know the basics, they can begin to have fun building on these ideas. However, students must put in the work toward learning the subject, then with tutoring, I can give them the individualized attention they need to completely learn a new subject. And, once a student realizes a subject can be fun and interesting, they will feel more comfortable engaging with their homework, taking tests, and asking questions of their teachers. To relax in my free time, I enjoy simple activities like watching television, cooking, eating, and reading. I also love to travel when I get the chance.
