Hollie

Certified Tutor

I have an MBA, BS in political science and an AA in voice/music. I have a very diverse background in education both as an administrator and as a teacher...I consider myself to be a "Jack of all Trades".

I have 8 years experience as a college professor teaching, business, life skills, academic success, ESOL, citizenship (government/US history), vocabulary, customer service and tutoring. I believe in teaching the individual. To me, this means learning who the student is both inside and outside of the learning environment. Everyone learns differently, but people learn more quickly when the information is presented in a manner that is relevant to their lives. Learning a student's interests allows me to customize a specific curriculum to meet their individual needs.

I have also tutored and taught, both honors as well as the exceptional student populations, in elementary, middle and high school subject matters. Across the board, the key to a student's success is finding their strengths, building their confidence and connecting inferences between old and new subject matters. I believe these techniques give each student the opportunity to succeed.

On a personal note I was born in Pennsylvania, but moved to Florida after graduating high school. I just moved to Washington state a few weeks ago and I am enjoying the mountains and the cooler weather. I can't wait to see snow again! I love to travel, I enjoy outdoor activities, and love my friends!
