+		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>
