Education

I am a licensed social worker who is currently a self employed tutor and loving it! I believe that my background in social work empowers me to be very encouraging . (Bachelor of Social Work 2011) I was in sales for a few years before going back to school for social work.

Experience

I focus on a student's strengths, and together, we learn how to incorporate the power of those strengths into the student's "weaker subjects." There isn't a rule that limits the application of anyone's strength in reasoning skills to math class. The same is true for the students who thrive in creativity, drawing original and detailed comic books. The strengths in individual people, if the focus of their lives, can be their biggest cognitive strength. Many strengths can be used in a vast number of ways. It is the same way our brain decodes stimuli in the world around us. We all see the world based on our own unique perception of reality that changes based on a variety of different variables both inside and out of oneself. This gives us the opportunity to alter the reality through our perspective. I would love to help find the catalyst for you or your loved one that utilizes their strengths to recognize true potential!

Hobbies

I developed a small study group that I facilitated in the summer of 2014. I used methods from researching and using all the top ACT/SAT in the country like Kaplan. I used a lot of resources online for practice questions and practice tests. I also used methods that most standardized tests in this country universally agree are the best strategies for preparing to take any test like the ACT. The group I worked with was no bigger than five or smaller than three, but three felt perfect. The group was student focused with just the basic parameters in place to stay on target. I incorporated the idea that I learned as a case manager: When a client (in this case, student) is directly responsible for his/her own case plan or "curriculum," "focus," and "syllabus," he/she is much more likely to follow it and remember it . A person puts more thought and importance in an idea he/she had as opposed to an assigned plan. This went a long way toward reaching the ultimate goal already established by attending the group. I have many more methods I developed during this process working primarily with students with learning disabilities and needing as much stimulus as possible to enhance the learning process.
