"Hello Learners!

I'm Lillie M. and I am a recent college graduate of North Carolina State University (Class of 2015). When I was in school I double majored in Textile Engineering and Polymer and Color Chemistry. I always loved education and fell in love with math and science as I pursued these degrees. My enjoyment for education really blossomed when I had the opportunity to become a teaching assistant for the Computer Science department my sophomore year of college. During this time I was solo teaching a course in an Introduction to Computing Environments for Engineers. Young students that were wishing to pursue engineering went through my course and I worked not only with 25 students in the classroom, but I also worked outside the classroom with them in office hours for one on one lessons to help them catch up on this credit only course. I continued my work in engineering because I knew that I could eventually help young women learn the enjoyment of math and science and see it as an opportunity to create changes in their communities.

I have worked with the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Upstate by mentoring a 14 year old girl in her pursuit of a Computer Science degree. I have also coached youth soccer with 4 and 5 year olds as well as 8 and 9 year old girls. I like to give back as much as I can to others so I have worked with a lot of the youth in the community to show that they can do whatever they aspire to achieve.

As a tutor, I work primarily with those who are struggling with mathematics and science, test preparation for college entrance exams and business applications. I have personal experience struggling with a subject and know how difficult it is to have a desire to want to learn something, but cannot seem to wrap my mind around it. That is why when I work with students I understand their learning style and try to get more background on who they are as an individual to see if there are ways that we can relate the material. I always will have a 30 minute introductory 'lesson' with you or your" less...
