School is tricky, and there is no universal pathway to success. I started
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&M in 2020. 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>
