About Makena

Hello! I'd describe my personality as calm, understanding, and humorous. I like tutoring because I enjoy the flexibility in scheduling, and the individualized lesson planning. I feel that I can help students more with tutoring, rather than a traditional classroom setting. I'm looking for a job that has a structured time slots and days. I started tutoring when I was in college. I held group tutoring sessions for students in multiple programs, with multiple classes. Once I graduated college, I began working with school age kids in a learning pod of multiple grade levels. In my spare time, I like to be active. I enjoy hiking with my dogs, going to the gym, and exploring nature with my family. One thing you should know about me is that I have my Bachelors in Educational Studies with an emphasis in childhood development. My skills include individual and group lesson planning, great communication, and overall understanding of a child's well being.
