About Me
I am currently a graduate student at Fordham University's Masters of Social Work program. I have completed a little over a year and half of the two year Masters program. Upon graduating, I plan on providing different social interventions to children and adolescents in need. Aside from my studies, I am also a part-time intern at the New York Foundling's Supportive Housing Program in which I help young adults who have aged out of the foster care system find permanent housing & career opportunities
Experience
I have had the pleasure of tutoring students from grades 5 - 10 across all subject areas. My tutoring journey began in January of 2020 with the New York Foundling, where I tutored adolescents in the foster care system. This opportunity made me realize how rewarding it is to unveil students' academic potential and confidence, and has led me to pursue private tutoring on the side, which I currently do.
Approach
My approach to tutoring varies by student's needs, as each individual has a different learning style they benefit the most from. Typically, I build off of what the student already knows (meeting them where they are), and approaching new content in a very clear-cut manner. I always encourage the student to teach the new material back to me to gain understanding of what they learned and how they process it; doing this also helps me identify areas in which the student may need more help.
