As an undergraduate, I worked and was trained + as a tutor at W&M's peer tutoring center, the 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 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> + </div> + +</section> + +<section></section> + +{% include "team.html" %} + +{% endblock %} |
