+ Carpenter Tutoring for those seeking a little help finding their way.

+ <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 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 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>
