Hobbies

I love working with all students and being in the academic world. In the past, I have worked with kids with special needs. I worked with 1st-5th graders in the school system. I led an academic enrichment club for 2nd graders who are struggling with certain subjects. I also worked with 8th and 9th graders as a Youth Advocate, constantly striving to advance the students' social and academic goals. I love all of this work, and I cannot wait to get some more experience. Because I am a current school social worker, I am consistently immersed in the schooling environment and I understand what goes on inside the classroom and what teachers expect their students to know/understand. (Note: I have tutored 4 students through this website. I can ask them to be a reference if needed.)
