"Hi, I’m Mallorie! I recently graduated from Elon University, Summa Cum Laude: I was in the Honors Program and I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music Theatre and a minor in Mathematics. I recently moved to New York to pursue a career in the performing arts, but I maintain a deep love for academics, and found a passion (and subsequent parallel career) in tutoring due to the ability to not only foster a deep understanding of but a genuine love and appreciation for the subjects I tutor.
I have more than 5 years of experience tutoring, having been a peer tutor since High School. I specialize in Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus AB/BC, as well as essay/research paper writing and playwriting. As a Math tutor, I adopt a ground-up approach wherein students are encouraged to understand exactly how and why certain equations and methods work so they can apply their understanding to a broader range of problems rather than relying on rote memorization. As we work through classwork or homework together, I always ensure that we are drawing connections between the specific problem at hand and the concept in general/its applications in the real world. I am also up to date on CollegeBoard AP Calculus AB/BC Exam requirements, so that while learning and mastering these topics, we can also practice the exact notation that will be needed to excel on the increasingly nit-picky AP Exam. As a writing tutor, I draw on my experience writing an undergraduate research thesis to edit and review a student’s work and discuss strategies for improving clarity, form, and content. I am also a playwright, and happy to work on creative projects as well as essays/papers!
My enthusiasm, energy, and unique ability to encourage, motivate, and engage students set me apart and ensure that my students not only learn and grow academically, but are able to thrive as individuals in a supportive and positive environment.
