I have been studying environmental science both in school and on my own time for the past four years. In high school I took AP environmental science, started a club to share information with my commun... ity about the environment, and am now majoring in environmental studies at NYU. My father is a science teacher which fostered my love for science at a young age. I have taken courses outside of school relating to climate science, energy sources, and physical geography all of which have been supplemental to my knowledge in environmental science. I have written many research papers and argumentative papers about environmental issues in various stages of my academic career which demonstrate my ability to produce approachable content. I've created somewhat of a reputation for myself amongst my friends and family who often come to me with questions, articles, or commentary relating to the environment to get my two bits. read more

Hello! I'm Kaitlyn, I am a freshman at NYU where I am majoring in international environmental policy. Originally I am from the California Bay Area which, as any local could tell you, can be very acade... mically challenging. Growing up in the Bay I always loved learning new things but often found myself discouraged by the rigorous classes. However, throughout my high school years I learned to use internal motivation techniques to keep myself engaged in classes no matter how difficult. Since then I've been a self-advocate for my education which has helped me learn in the most efficient ways available. When tutoring I aim to help students find new perspectives on content that spark that internal motivation. From observing my parents (one is a teacher and the other a project manager) I know that it is important to be patient with people as everyone learns at their own pace. I feel that in private tutoring especially it's important for the student to feel completely secure in their learning style and resulting knowledge. I hope for students to come out of a session being able to identify exactly what they learned, maybe what they didn't learn, and how they learned it. I have always been a science person and particularly well versed in environmental science, but I am also a skilled writer. I am capable in assisting in grammar, various essay formats, and literature analysis. While I am usually helping students in a range of subjects, I feel most comfortable in science in which I would be able to provide additional lessons. Please reach out with any questions, I would love to work with you and help out with anything you need!read more
