Tessa H.
Tessa H. is a lifelong learner who became a teacher so she could grow personally and professionally. She loves meeting new people and sharing her interests with students while they solve problems together.
Tessa has taught everything from swim lessons for young children to college-level Geology labs to reading and math to elementary students with learning disabilities.
As an undergraduate at the University of Binghamton in New York, Tessa discovered her passion for science and the environment, which led to two bachelor’s degrees: one in Geology and one in Environmental Studies.
After graduating, her first “real job” was teaching reading and math to children with autism and other learning disabilities. Tessa enjoyed seeing her students grow so much that she stayed in that job for more than 7 years.
“Pairing with each student and learning how to integrate their interests into my lesson plans has helped me become a better teacher and made learning more fun for everyone.”
Tessa recently moved from New York to Colorado to pursue a career in science. Tutoring gives her the opportunity to continue her love of teaching and her passion for giving back to the community.
When she’s not teaching or tutoring, Tessa loves getting out into nature, going for a hike, or going on a picnic. I also love learning new skills — anything from knitting to breadmaking.
