"My name is Bailey and I am a current teacher in Harlem, NY. I have experience tutoring elementary aged students as well as AP and college psychology.

I graduated with distinction from Cornell University, majoring in Human Development with a minor in theater.

I am also working towards my Masters in the Art of Teaching with certification in exceptional learners. I have had experience with students of all ages, in both classroom and recreational settings.

I appreciate open communication with guardians for younger students and working as a team to best support the learner. In a first session, I hope to get to know the student and see what they hope to gain from this experience. Tutoring should be fun, and I aim to include student voice and choice in sessions.

There is also space for student voice during math, whether it is a word problem about Roblox or fractions about cookies. I have experience teaching elementary math, specifically word problems and shape knowledge.

In college, I was a tutor for the psychology department. In this role, I provided one to one tutoring to all college students, and taught my own discussion section for the course.
