About
Hello!
My name is Emma, and I grew up in a small town near Sacramento, California. I attended college close to home (I am a proud Chico State Wildcat!) to pursue a degree in History with the option ... in Social Science Pre-Credential. After living within 2 hours of home for my entire life, I decided to move halfway across the globe and currently teach English in a small pueblo in Spain.
Throughout college, I tutored students of all grade levels. Outside of running my own one-on-one tutoring sessions, I also worked in a tutoring center for K-12 students and as a Supplemental Instruction leader for a United States History course at my university. Here, I gained experience with creating unique and engaging online activities for US History. The most important aspect of my sessions, however, wasn't strictly looking at the course material. I focused on doing so in a way that equipped each of my students with transferable study skills that they could apply to improve their grades even when I wasn't there. While I loved tutoring students for multiple years and watching them grow, I was equally happy to see my students improve over the course of a semester and leave with transferable knowledge of what studying methods work best for them. I'm looking forward to continuing to do so with you on lessonpal!read more

Personal Tutoring
Self
Nov 2019 - present
I organized personal tutoring sessions, both in person and online, for students in elementary school... through high school in a variety of subjects. Some students required more help with homework, while others were lessons I came up with to strengthen skills in math, english, reading, writing, history, science, and study skills. Currently, I mostly host english conversation classes with Spanish speaking community members who want to learn the english language.read more
