Fun Facts
I've cuddled a koala & kangaroos, I've climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and I've climbed 1,700 steps up the Eiffel Tower! I love to travel & I have experienced 3 countries, living in Australia for 5 months. You can almost always find me with a book in hand or cooking a new recipe! I love to immerse myself in a new custom or tradition of a culture/country.
About Me
I am a recent graduate from the maryland">University of Maryland-maryland/college-park">College Park. I earned my degree in Hearing & Speech Sciences (speech pathology & audiology) and a minor in Spanish. I spent my entire undergraduate career on the Dean's List and I hope to continue my academic success at a Maryland graduate school for Speech Pathology.
Experience
During my college summers I tutored the children that I would nanny in a variety of elementary subjects. Then during my college semesters, I would peer mentor other girls in my degree. I spent a semester as a Teaching Assistant in an introductory course to Linguistics including topics such as anatomy & physiology of the brain, mouth, ears, and throat, and neurological and developmental disorders.
Approach
Kindness and consistency are two key concepts in my approach. I aim to always be kind, positive, encouraging, and approachable. Structure is important to facilitate an effective and successful learning environment. I set goals for learning the material and teach skills for accessing the material during independent times (i.e. testing/when a parent/maryland/maryland/baltimore">baltimore">tutor/teacher is not around).
