"My name is Joy, and I am currently a junior at Lehigh University. I study psychology as an undergrad and am simultaneously pursuing my master's degree in elementary education. I truly have a passion for working with all types of children, and I enjoy the challenge of catering to a specific learner's goals and needs. It is my belief that building rapport and genuine relationships is a crucial quality of any successful tutoring or teaching. Therefore, I strive to be very warm and approachable in order to make sessions as pleasant and productive as possible. In the end, I want to help instill a life-long love of learning, particularly in the areas of reading and writing.

I have three years of experience working as a tutor both privately and on-site with a tutoring company. This helped me develop the ability to quickly identify needs and adjust my methods for the unique child sitting in front of me. In addition, I have worked as a teacher's assistant in local schools for the past several years, mainly working one-on-one with young students falling behind in reading. These positions all included supporting elementary and middle school-aged children in different areas of math and english. Therefore, I am absolutely capable of and willing to adapt to the individuals needs of the student, whether that means providing homework help or creating supplemental lessons to address areas of weakness.

My goal is to maintain open lines of communication throughout the entire process, as it truly is a team effort to guide children to success. Please reach out with any questions or if you think I would be a good match for your student!" less...
