Chloe
MS Grand Canyon University • BA Utah State University

My teaching (and tutoring!) philosophy is that students will learn best when they are confident in their ability to grow academically, and comfortable to ask questions or admit when they need help. My philosophy also focuses on the importance of how the teacher presents themselves and the energy that they carry. I believe it is a teacher's responsibility to create a safe, calm, and student-oriented learning environment that is not rushed, angry, or impatient. I believe I am a top candidate as a tutor because I have a M. Ed. in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology, and 7 years of classroom experience. I understand that scheduled time with a student is not to be wasted, or rushed. I do not believe in taking phone calls, texts, doodling, reading, etc. when working with a student. I am an experienced professional that loves her job, and I understand how important it is to the student and their families, that I do my job properly and effectively. If there is ever anything that I am unsure of, I will be truthful and say that I don't know, instead of providing students with the wrong information. Consistency, patience, communication, professionalism, and encouragement are what I look forward to offer as a tutor!

Candace
BA Grand Canyon University
1+ Years Tutoring

I have a background in applied management, but am working towards becoming a certified teacher. I have experience both as a tutor and also working with children in different settings. I understand how tough certain subjects can be for students since I've been 'that student' myself. For me, my most challenging subject was science. This experience has helped me to recognize the challenges children go through in their education. Furthermore, parents want to help and work so hard, but can easily become overextended while trying to help their children with homework or lessons. This is where I come in! I work directly with children and cater specific teaching methods and strategies to each individual. I think it's important to figure out what makes each student tick and use this to inspire them. It's easy to get frustrated, but together, we can overcome this and achieve your goals!
