Courtney M.
Courtney is currently pursuing her degree in Elementary Education and has always enjoyed working with children and helping them learn. She has experience as both a paraeducator and a nanny, which has given her the opportunity to work with children of different ages, personalities, and learning styles. Through these experiences, she has learned how important patience, encouragement, and building a good relationship with a student can be. Courtney is someone who wants her students to feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes because she believes that is an important part of learning.
Courtney especially enjoys helping students with elementary school subjects and middle school math by finding different ways to explain a concept when something doesn’t make sense the first time. She understands that every student learns differently, and she is willing to slow down, try a new approach, and work at the student’s pace. Her goal is not only to help students improve their grades but also to help them feel more confident in their abilities.
When she isn’t working or studying, Courtney enjoys reading, shopping, and spending time with her family and friends. She considers herself a friendly, caring, and dependable person and loves getting to know the children she works with. She hopes to make tutoring a positive experience where students can learn, feel supported, and have a little fun along the way while growing in confidence and working toward success.
