Fun Facts
I love working with kids of all ages and abilities- as a volleyball coach, nanny, and classroom assistant for an area elementary school for children with disabilities, I am always looking for ways to get involved and meet new people! I love to play volleyball in my spare time, travel to new places, and cook new recipes for my friends and family while watching Netflix in the kitchen (Scandal, New Girl, and Friends are a few of my favorites)!
About Me
I am a senior International Studies major at Centre College (a small liberal arts school in central Kentucky) and I absolutely love it there! Upon graduation, I plan to move to Louisville to pursue a career as a special education teacher. Eventually, I hope to open my own non-profit school where kids with and without disabilities can be successfully integrated into an exceptional learning environment for all.
Experience
As a member of the After School Program, I would tutor an elementary aged girl twice a week and help her with all of her homework. The majority of my experience, however, I feel comes from my experience as a high school volleyball coach where I was a role model and tutor for the girls I coached. I tutored them in multiple subjects, study skills, and in ACT prep and I really enjoyed getting to work with them. I have also coached volleyball at the middle school level with similar experience.
Approach
My approach to tutoring is simple: build a relationship with the student to understand how they learn best, then work to present the material in a way that is closest to that learning style. Additionally, I am a very creative person and feel that one of my strengths is the ability to demonstrate the same concept in a variety of different (and sometimes silly) ways to help students remember and really internalize the material they are learning.
