Elementary Math Tutoring

I would love to help elementary school students master fundamental mathematical concepts so they can excel in more advanced math classes upon entering middle school.

Homework Coach Tutoring

I participated in a study skills class over the summer in both middle and high school. In these classes, I learned how to best manage my study time, such as sometimes completing easier tasks to boost confidence or starting with the more difficult when feeling tired. In addition, I learned how to improve my focus while studying by taking breaks of an appropriate length of time. Finally, the class taught me the three types of learning styles: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Although the more senses activated while studying leads to higher rates of remembrance, every student leans slightly more to one style. When I discovered I was an auditory learner, I studied much more efficiently.

History Tutoring

Freshman year of high school: subject–World History; grade–A
Sophomore year: subject–AP World History; grade–A (AP exam: 3)
Junior year: subject–APUSH; grade–A (AP exam: 4)
Senior year: subject–AP Gov't; grade–A (AP exam: 3)
Freshman year of college: fall semester–World History to 1500 (A-); spring semester–World History since 1500

Social Studies Tutoring

Having taken Geography, World History, U.S. History, and American Government in both high school and college, I can impart my knowledge of social studies at its most basic level to prepare elementary school students for middle school history course work.

Reading Comprehension Tutoring

I am an English major at TCU, and I have taken honors and AP English classes throughout high school. Since I read a myriad of academic books as well as popular novels during my free time, I have developed a reading skill set that allows me to understand and analyze the text more efficiently.

SAT Verbal/Writing Tutoring

I received a 660 on the reading and writing section of the SAT. Since success on the SAT is based on becoming extremely comfortable with the format of the test and using the format to one's advantage, I would highly recommend Khan Academy's test prep resources over general reading comprehension tutoring to yield the best test results.

Study Skills Tutoring

Please see my "homework coach" description :)

Writing Tutoring

As I am an English major at TCU and am more drawn to the humanities than the sciences, all of my college courses format their exams as essays. Thus, the writing skills I have learned in my freshman college courses, such as World History, Geography, Introduction to Fiction, and Critical Investigation: Teaching and Learning, have greatly improved and solidified. Besides college, I received a 5 on the AP English Language and Composition Exam and a 4 on the Literature and Composition. I took a Creative Writing class my senior year of high school, and I plan on taking a college-level class of the same subject in the future. My freshman and sophomore years I was enrolled in a Distinguished Scholars Program, an extremely selective class that focuses on research methods and the writing of research papers. My freshman year I investigated the effects of nature on people's health, and my sophomore year I researched the issue of surveillance.

Writing Advance Tutoring

I can prepare students for college-level writing as well as AP exams, which typically all have a free-response portion.

Geography Tutoring

During my freshman fall semester at TCU, I took World Regional Geography and received an A-. From this class, I acquired a general understanding of human processes and ways of life across the globe and how the physical environment plays a significant role in shaping human societies.

Reading Tutoring

I am an English major at TCU; thus, I do a lot of reading. I would love to work with students of any grade level to read more efficiently and connect more readily to poetry and prose.

Pre Algebra Tutoring

I entered high school having already taken Pre-Algebra in middle school, so I had and still retain my solid understanding of the concepts that lie at the heart of algebra.

ISEE Tutoring

Similar to the SAT, the ISEE requires more emphasis on becoming familiar with the standardized test's format, but I would love to review any of the test's recurring concepts with which a student struggles.

Algebra Tutoring

I receive an A in both Algebra I and II, and although I am an English major, I still remember how to solve equations :)

Algebra II Tutoring

I took honors Algebra II, and I struggled immensely until I began tutoring with a teacher at a different school near my house. I ended with an A and a deeper, much more solid understanding of the material than I could have attained if I had either dropped to an on-level class or tried to learn from a teacher who I just could not understand.

AP English Tutoring

Language and Comp: 5 on exam
Literature and Comp: 4

AP History Tutoring

World History: 3
U.S. History: 4

English Tutoring

Throughout high school, I took honors and AP English classes. I am now an English major at TCU, and I received an A in my first English class of college.
