About
Hello, I'm Mandy Roark, a Midwest native who traded Cincinnati's skyline for the glitz of Las Vegas. With a dual degree in Developmental Psychology and Communication, coupled with minors in Biology an... d Marketing, my academic journey has been quite the adventure.
Tutoring has been my calling for the past decade, and for the last four years, I've embraced the virtual realm to connect with students from all walks of life. As a proud member of TCRWP and Sadlier Connect, my passion for literacy extends from phonics to the enchanting world of reading.
Beyond the books, you'll find me in the kitchen concocting culinary delights, getting my hands messy with paint, or reveling in the great outdoors. Life, like learning, is a colorful tapestry, and I'm here to weave unique and tailored experiences for each student.
My tutoring philosophy revolves around adaptability. No two learners are the same, and that's the beauty of it. I craft lessons like a bespoke suit, tailoring them to suit the individual needs and learning styles of each student. It's not just about imparting knowledge; it's about empowering and fostering a love for the subject.
So, if you're ready for a personalized learning journey where education meets adventure, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's embark on this academic odyssey together!read more
