I have tutored at several schools. I have worked one on one and in small groups with students in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. I have helped them in all subjects. I have designed and taught the extra reading help for a first grader who was behind in reading.
I am currently a first year in the College
I really enjoy helping others learn, understand and prepare for difficult exams. Although I am particularly strong in Algebra, I can help students with almost every subject.
I am patient, creative and energetic, and I would love to help you achieve your learning goals!
