Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, and thank you for checking out my teacher profile!
I am a private professional tutor and owner of Carpenter Tutoring. I have received certification as an Advanced Tutor through the College Reading and Learning Association, earned my M.Ed. from the College of William & Mary in 2020, and was named the Tutor of the Year at William & Mary in 2020. In my business, I work with learners of all ages and from all backgrounds in a range of academic subjects, time management, study skills, academic coaching, and even dissertation coaching. You can see a full list of topics I teach as well as my complete background at CarpenterTutoring.com. Please feel free to send me a message if you see a topic you’d like me to add as a class!
I believe that every learner is capable of gaining deep understanding of virtually any topic--sometimes all it takes is finding a way to explain the material that matches that learner's style! With this belief as a foundation, I structure my classes to introduce students to concepts in multiple ways so that they can choose the methodology or explanation that works best for them. I also believe that collaboration is very important. One student may conceptualize something in a way that I've never considered, and sharing those unique insights and perspectives is immeasurably important!
My classes focus on subjects for which I have a solid knowledge foundation as well as genuine passion. I aim to create classes that will arm students with the tools they'll need to be successful moving forward, whether that means moving to the next level of math or turning a love of film scores into a budding practice in writing scores!Reviews
