About Lindsey

Education was always extremely important in my family. I took my A-Levels in England in High School (in Calculus, English, French Conversation and Art). I then received my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania (an Ivy League college). In 1992 I started my own photography business in Wedding/Portrait/Fashion work in Carmel. In the meantime, I raised two children (a daughter, now 23, and a son, now 20).. My daughter just graduated from UCLA and is now working in San Francisco in PR/Marketing and my son is presently attending the University of Oregon. I worked in their classrooms all through their elementary years at the Carmel River School. Since they are out of the house, I have some extra time during the week. Since I love kids and have a strong penchant for teaching, I started to put the word out that I would love to tutor. Teachers at Carmel River School recommended me as a private tutor, which lead me into various assignments. For the last two years I have tutored kids ranging in age from 8 to 14 years old, in subjects from Math to English and American History. One child tested in the 90 percentile after tutoring with me in his specific subjects It was rewarding to hear that outcome.. I think education provides good self-esteem, confidence and sense of success. If I am part of providing that positive attitude and improvement, that's a joy. Every child is different and sometimes approaches to teaching need to adapt to their specific needs. I am cognizant of that and will adjust the approach to learning according to their level and understanding. Patience is key. I love watching them grasp the concepts being taught and grow in their abilities. I know how it will affect them the rest of their lives.
