Emma: Merrillville tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a student at the University of Delaware majoring in Elementary Education with a concentration in Teaching English as a Second Language and a minor in Disability Studies. Prior to college, I tutored 3rd graders of varying socioeconomic backgrounds in ELA and math. For five years, I led whole-class and one-on-one lessons for 4th and 5th graders at my local synagogue. During the summers, I've been a camp counselor for kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders. I have also tutored middle school students in math and ELA. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects for elementary school students, I have the most experience with reading, writing, and math. Math can be a difficult subject for many students, but it is fun to work together to develop new skills and work our way through problems. I believe every student deserves to learn in a way that is right for them, and I try to work with students to find out how they learn best. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano and guitar and painting.
