Chyann

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Language and Culture with a minor focus in Anthropology. After graduating I began work with a not-for-profit organization that serves youth 12-years-old and older with developing their social-emotional skills and leadership skills through experiential education at at a 265 acre adventure course facility in New Jersey. I fell in love with the work and philosophy that people, and especially children, learn best by doing. It is an approach to teaching and tutoring that I believe in and practice, especially now that I work as a Teacher's Assistant at a childcare center, servicing children 2-4 years old. I believe firmly in youth empowerment through education and social competency, so they may be global-minded citizens and contributors. I have also worked in schools with a not-for-profit organization in Brooklyn that services students in public schools as an independent contractor. We have created essay competitions and innovative game-shows to help children learn and engage with their educators creatively. The subjects I am most excited to tutor in are English and Writing, since I am passionate about language and writing. In my spare time I enjoy reading, journaling, macrame, and dancing.
