Pernethyia

Certified Tutor

I have a master's degree in finance and global studies, a bachelor of science in Education degree with a focus on early childhood education and leadership and an associate's degree in childcare and development. Throughout my college career, I have gained experience in classroom teaching, both online and in-person to students of all ages. One of my most rewarding settings was becoming an online ESL teacher, which has given me the opportunity to tutor children and adults with varying skillsets.

I am most passionate about the subject areas of ESL, reading (phonetics and comprehension), spelling, pronunciation, agricultural sciences, study skills and organization, and SAT preparation. My experiences as a teacher have taught me that confidence is the key to learning anything. My classes are focused on building confidence, with effective activities and learning tools. I believe education is an important part of life, but how one is educated should be based on the needs or goals of the student. Meeting the student where they are is a fundamental step in helping them have successful education experiences. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, being outdoors with my family, making smores and baking.
