About
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
