			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&amp;M in 2020. As an undergraduate, I worked and was trained
			as a tutor at W&amp;M's peer tutoring center, the Tribe TutorZone. During
			this period, I conducted over 150 one-on-one appointments with W&amp;M
			students in 26 different content areas. I earned lifetime Advanced Tutor
			Certification, the highest level W&amp;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>
