My name is Brenna, and I am a Wellesley College student on a gap year pursuing studies in Biological Sciences and Psychology. I do my best to maintain a balance between pushing the student academicall... y and managing their frustration with a challenging concept. I show the student how to approach an example, then encourage them to do it on their own while being there to guide them, and I will show them more examples and go further into detail if they are having difficulty grasping the concept. For 3 years I worked as a private tutor for a high school student with learning disabilities in high-level courses such as Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra I, Honors Algebra II, and college-level statistics. I was an Honors/AP student in high school and received all A's and B's in Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra II, Honors Precalculus, and AP Calculus BC. Here are some of my standardized testing scores for which I am happy to provide verification: Math I SAT Subject Test: 720/800 Math II SAT Subject Test: 790/800 ACT Composite: 34/36 ACT Math: 34/36 AP Calculus BC: 4/5read more

Hi! My name is Brenna, and I am a student at Wellesley College on a gap year pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences and Psychology. I do my best to maintain a balance between pushing th... e student academically and managing their frustration with a challenging concept. I show the student how to approach an example, then encourage them to do it on their own while being there to guide them, and I will show them more examples and go further into detail if they are experiencing difficulty grasping the concept. In high school I was a high-achieving Honors and AP student, and I have worked for 3 years as a private tutor for a high school student. I did my best to push the student to grow in her learning while also managing her overwhelm. I would show her how to approach an example, then encourage her to do it on her own while being there to guide her, and I would show her more examples and go further into detail if she was not grasping the concept. After I was confident my student grasped the concept, I asked her to complete similar problems outside of our sessions, and we would cover problems she struggled with the next session.read more
