Chandni
AM Sam Houston State University
2+ Years Tutoring

I received my MA in clinical psychology in 2016. I am currently working on my second MA in counseling. I have been tutoring for the past 2 years. I love tutoring students as it gives me immense pleasure to see my students succeed. Due to my educational background, my strengths include patience and being able to understand how each student processes information. This helps me in modifying my method of teaching to cater to the unique needs of my students. I am familiar with tutoring in subjects until Grade -4, which includes elementary English, Math, and Science. I also tutor in psychology. When I work with new students, I believe in creating rapport with them. This is important for me as it facilitates learning and also makes it easier for the student to honestly communicate their needs without the fear of being judged. I mostly work from the perspective of student-focused teaching and instructor-focused teaching depending on the topic being taught. I believe that active learning is very helpful for kids to gauge their level of understanding. Since I mostly work with elementary students, my teaching strategies include the use of videos, games, puzzles, crosswords, explanations, diagrams, and assessments. As a tutor, my strengths include patience (to help the student repeatedly and patiently when they reach a roadblock), adaptability (to change my teaching methods depending on the individual needs of the student), and empathy (to relate to the student, to understand their concerns and if required to motivate them to reach their goals).

As an educator, a wife, and a mother, my life is a harmonious blend of love, learning, and creativity. Each role I embrace enhances the other, shaping me into a compassionate and dedicated individual. Within this multifaceted journey, my dogs are my constant companions, and the great outdoors and artistic expression provide solace and inspiration.As a teacher, my purpose is to ignite the flames of knowledge within young minds, guiding them towards their full potential. Witnessing the spark of understanding in a student's eyes is an indescribable joy that fuels my passion each day. My classroom becomes a sanctuary of growth, where curiosity is nurtured, and the joy of learning is contagious. Through patience, encouragement, and adaptability, I strive to create an inclusive environment that empowers each student to blossom.But my journey does not end within the classroom walls. At home, I am a wife, cherishing a partnership built on trust, respect, and unwavering support. Together, my spouse and I navigate the ebbs and flows of life, intertwining our dreams and aspirations. We nurture our relationship with love and understanding, always striving to create a haven of warmth and stability for our family.Speaking of family, my role as a mother brings boundless joy and responsibility. With every cherished moment, I witness the miracle of growth and the beauty of innocence. Guiding my children through life's myriad experiences is both humbling and empowering. I aim to instill in them a strong moral compass, a thirst for knowledge, and an unwavering belief in their limitless potential.Within the tapestry of my life, my dogs play an integral role. Their wagging tails and unconditional love bring a sense of comfort and companionship that words cannot fully capture. Their presence reminds me to find joy in the simplest moments and to embrace the beauty of connection.When I step outside, nature's embrace rejuvenates my spirit. Exploring the wonders of the natural world, I am reminded of the intricate web of life that surrounds us. The soothing sounds of rustling leaves, the vibrant colors of a sunset, and the invigorating scent of fresh air invigorate my senses and remind me of the interconnectedness of all living beings.Amidst the vibrant tapestry of my life, my artistic endeavors provide a sanctuary for self-expression. Through paintbrush strokes and sculpting clay, I translate emotions, thoughts, and experiences into tangible creations. Art becomes a powerful medium to convey my innermost reflections and bridge the gap between imagination and reality.In the convergence of these diverse rolesteacher, wife, mother, dog lover, nature enthusiast, and artistI find the essence of who I am. The amalgamation of these identities nurtures my spirit, infuses my days with purpose, and enriches the lives of those around me. I am grateful for the unique tapestry I have woven, as it allows me to embrace life's multifaceted beauty and create a positive impact in the world.

My goal is to help students activate their prior knowledge and make new discoveries in the area of science. Students will receive a variety of instruction based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards. Lessons are designed to help students build confidence and work independently, all while at their own pace. Students will have many opportunities to learn/do science in an inquiry-based hands-on environment; students aren't waiting for the teacher or someone else to provide an answer instead, they are seeking solutions, designing investigations, and asking new questions. Students are actively involved in making observations, collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing information, and drawing conclusions while developing useful problem-solving skills they will use throughout their life.

Learning is a habit. I grew up hearing that daily and it gradually sunk in as I progressed in school. I always enjoyed figuring out how things worked and why things happened, as my curiosity knew no bounds. As I matured, I discovered how to channel this curiosity into more productive avenues by working in study groups, helping friends answer their own questions which were usually quite similar this mine, This helped develop my confidence in teaching others through college, summer camps and medical school. I love working with different age groups as they all bring unique learning opportunities.My degrees have given me the skills to cover a wide range of subjects in the sciences and medicine, and to value each person I come across. My aim is to give my students a personalised learning experience composed of great learning opportunities and experiences so they can stay engaged, motivated and prepared for not just their classes but for life in general. Mentoring students as they learn is also crucial to the mental aspect of their growth. I also ensure that clear, practical objectives are given so students can stay focused on tasks and are able to take responsibility for their own future. In addition to this, I use different learning styles visual, verbal, discussions and review sessions as students have different learning styles. Teaching really is a privilege.

I am a registered nurse in Central Texas with a unique academic and professional background: I earned my Bachelor's and Master's in history in 1999 and 2001, respectively. From 2002 to 2014, I taught introductory American History courses at the local community college.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2014 and my Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2019. Between 2014 and 2020, I worked in a variety of roles - as a staff nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU and Progressive Care Unit, and later as a nursing supervisor, manager, and clinical educator. All the while, the classroom was calling me back to academia. I missed that connection with my students, so I became a nurse educator in 2019. It felt amazing to help aspiring and new nurses meet their potential. Helping students connect with a subject that many of them struggled with was an absolute joy.As the pandemic raged on, I felt a pull back toward the bedside, so I became a staff nurse again in October 2021. I started tutoring as a way to continue helping students while also caring for patients.I take a holistic approach to tutoring NCLEX. I spend time getting to know my students: what they struggle with, how they've prepared in the past, where they'd like to focus their energy and time, and how they handle test anxiety. I then develop a tutoring plan to meet each person's individual needs. I teach content review, testing strategies, and in-the-moment stress-reduction techniques to help my students feel prepared as they go into the testing center.

I believe in a flexible methodology. I believe not everyone learns in the same fashion or at the same rate. This does not mean a student is more or less intelligent than the next or the teacher is always right. There are fundamental methods and approaches that a student must learn when obtaining an education.The difference between a good teacher and a great one is adapting those methods and approaches to each individual. This cannot always be done in a classroom setting, and that is why we have tutors. I may not be the right tutor for everyone, but I'll do my best with everyone and hopefully change a few lives. In the end, this is not just about teaching them a specific subject, it's helping them evolve how they think in order to allow them to attack any subject now and in the future by teaching them how to break things down and approach it in an effective way.

Tutors with SHSU backgrounds excel across the university's core programs, including criminal justice, business, education, engineering, and liberal arts. Because they've completed these programs themselves, they can explain concepts in ways that align with how SHSU instructors teach and what the university emphasizes in its curriculum.

An alumnus tutor understands SHSU's grading standards, assignment expectations, and exam formats because they've completed the same courses. They can help you prepare more effectively by sharing study strategies that worked for them, explaining how to approach SHSU-specific projects, and clarifying concepts the way your professors teach them.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have attended or graduated from SHSU. When you reach out, you can specify that you'd like to work with someone familiar with the university, and we'll match you with a tutor whose background aligns with your needs and courses.
