Hello, I'm Emma! I'm an Arizona native who attends Northern Arizona University, where I am majoring in Sociology and plan to minor in Community Engagement and Psychology. After I graduate from NAU, I ... plan to earn my Masters in Social Work in Public Policy. In my spare time, I like to play solitaire games, some of which I created. I also like to play clarinet, compose music, and write poetry and lyrics. With my creativity, I can help students who benefit from unorthodox teaching styles and create questions and examples for each session. I took on leadership positions in various high school organizations, such as the National Honor Society and Band. These positions helped me develop organizational skills, patience, and creative thinking process.

Tutors should encourage students to be confident in their answers and opinions by not admonishing them for making mistakes. Mistakes should be understood as a vital element of the learning process.read more
