Fun Facts
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Friedman and I'm a junior at Whitman College. I have tutored and babysat a ton of kids ages 2 and up. I was a Big Sister in the Big Brother Big Sister program to kids ages 10-13. I am a huge lover of dogs, reading, and the great outdoors. I just spent 3 months in Ireland au pairing for children ages 3, 5, and 8.
About Me
I study Political Science and Race and Ethnic Studies at Whitman College. I'm currently taking a year off from school to work. My GPA is 3.89. I was selected to deliver a paper to the National Political Science Honor Society as the only junior member for the year 2014-2015.
Experience
Throughout high school and college, I've earned massive experience tutoring students ages 5-18. I've spent well over a thousand hours helping students through reading, writing, and early math, primarily .I love helping students understand their coursework better and hopefully have fun doing it.
Approach
I had significant problems learning math throughout my education and had a tutor help me most of the way. She taught me the skills required in a new way that was both informative and fun. I eventually got over my aversion to math and didn't need her help. I strive to help my students learn the school work while having a good time. I strongly believe homework doesn't need to be excruciating--for kids or parents.
