Fun Facts

I was born in Texas, but I grew up in the east coast! I originally wanted to study philosophy at college, but decided to study English instead. When I am not walking my dogs or reading flash fiction on the internet, I lurk thrift stores for neat gadgets, old adornments, and vintage clothing.

About Me

I received a bachelor's degree in English from Montclair State University. Although most of my coursework focused on my major field of study, I also took courses that concentrated on teaching literature, writing, and English grammar to students of various grade levels. Working for Frog Tutoring will allow me to put theory into practice, which is exciting! I hope to enroll in Montclair's well-regarded teacher education program for a Master of Arts in Teaching this upcoming fall.

Experience

While a junior at university, I had the privilege of tutoring four students weekly in grades 1-3 in reading, writing, and mathematics. During this time, I learned how to adjust my teaching style to cater to each student's needs and produce reports to track each student's academic progress. The sense of joy I felt while tutoring has not left me, so I hope to continue on helping students master skills that they will need to become self-possessed individuals.

Approach

It is essential for me to think of each pupil as an individual; one pedagogical approach might not be applicable to one student but it might be for another. When I enter a tutoring session, I take note of the strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics of a student in order to tailor a specific approach that best fits his or her learning style. Along with a can-do attitude and diligence, I hope to make tutoring sessions exciting and thought-provoking!
