<h2>
School is tricky, and there is no universal pathway to success. I
started Carpenter Tutoring for those seeking a little help finding
their way.
</h2>
<p>
I received my B.A. from The College of William and Mary in 2018 and
received my M.Ed. from W&M in 2020. As an undergraduate, I worked
and was trained as a tutor at W&M's peer tutoring center, the
Tribe TutorZone. During this period, I conducted over 150 one-on-one
appointments with W&M students in 26 different content areas. I
earned lifetime Advanced Tutor Certification, the highest level
W&M can grant, through the College Reading and Learning
Association, and I was trained as a time management consultant. I took
on leadership roles within the TutorZone until I was working alongside
its director. As a graduate student, I became one of the Graduate
Assistants helping oversee the TutorZone as well as an academic coach
to students with high need for academic support.
</p>
<p>
I loved getting to work with the Tribe TutorZone tutors, but I
realized that I missed being the tutor. There's just nothing like
watching the light bulb of understanding go off or seeing students who
had struggled with material master it! With that realization, I
decided to dedicate my life to my passion -- helping students of all
ages learn, succeed, and believe in themselves.
</p>
<p>
My instructional approach focuses on meeting students where they are
and supporting them through any hesitations or discomforts from which
academic difficulties may arise. Whether your student only has to
brush up on a few concepts or is resistant to completing coursework, I
will come to each session with patience, understanding, and just the
right amount of discipline. I truly believe that excellent educational
relationships begin with mutual respect, and I work to build
meaningful relationships with all of my clients.
</p>
<p>Thank you for considering Carpenter Tutoring.</p>
