About Me

I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University where I earned by B.S. in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. Currently, I attend the University of Richmond, where I am working to become a licensed teacher. Over the past 6 years I have had the pleasure of working with students as young as 2nd grade, all the way up to the college level. I prefer the sciences (biology, chemistry, Earth science) and math (elementary to algebra II). When tutoring, I encourage my students arrive at the solution by continuously asking questions, rather than directly giving answers. I also enjoy the use of manipulatives to speak to a wider range of learning styles, and to add an element of fun to the learning process. My experiences have allowed me to effectively manage my time and to work with a wide demographic of students. I look forward to helping my clients succeed in the classroom, and ultimately discover their potential.

Q&A with Carrie

Students are influenced by different types of environmental systems. Not only do the people with whom we interact shape us, but so do our surroundings, our society, and our own beliefs and values. This explains why students may act one way in school, another around friends, and yet another around family. This model helps to guide me towards a teaching method that is more personalized and effective for the student.
