Tutor - LAURA P. (User #2515)

    I am a creative tutor who loves teaching and creating a unique learning experience for my students. As someone who just received an MA in Learning Sciences from Northwestern, I know a great deal about educational research and pedagogical best-practices, in addition to my subject matter knowledge. 

    As someone who enjoys working with children and has extensive experience nannying, I know how to connect with children and make learning enjoyable.  I believe in tailoring  activities to the individual, and making learning enjoyable.  For example, one time I was working with an active little boy who was having some trouble with counting.  I came up with the idea of doing jumping jacks while shouting out the numbers.   He loved it, and his counting improved! Best of all, he didn't even think of it as "work" or "math."

     I can tutor all subjects in primary and middle school;English, French, Social Studies/History at any level.  My work for my Master's degree was in literacy and reading comprehension.
