Fun Facts

I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. I have two younger sisters who I love very much. My mother is a teacher, I grew up watching her in the classroom and I apply this influence to my own tutoring approach. I enjoy going to movies and spending time with my friends and family.

About Me

I graduated in May 2014 from Texas Woman's University with a BA in English. I was on the Dean's list the fall of my junior year and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a GPA of 3.6. I worked my way through school as an AVID tutor with FWISD. I have tutored at the middle and high school level.

Experience

I worked for FWISD as an AVID tutor for 6 years, AVID is a program for college bound students who need an extra opportunity to do homework and get help with subject specific questions they may have. As a tutor, I met with groups of 3 to 8 students twice a week in a classroom setting. I have a lot of experience writing college scholarship essays, AP language/lit essays, and lit analysis.

Approach

AVID teaches the Socratic method, or guiding students to the answer using targeted questioning. I use this method to discern exactly what the student needs to know and develop a plan accordingly. Rarely will I give a student an answer, rather, we will figure out the answer together using our resources. I believe this approach forces the students to actively participate in solving the problem so they don't become dependent on someone else for help.
