Kendra

I am a certified Spanish and Math teacher, with over a decade of experience. I have an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from UT Arlington and a BA in Spanish from CSU Fullerton. I have written math and Spanish curriculum for classroom and personal use, and I can customize each session to meet your student needs.

My tutoring style:

My tutoring style is to create a warm, encouraging environment for students to learn and feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes while they are learning. I love working with students to figure out what methods they prefer to use when solving problems. This helps to build their confidence. Tutoring is a personal experience, where I can modify questions to be more interesting to the student, based on their interests.

Success story:

I had an Algebra 1 student with Learner who came to me at the end of her first quarter, struggling in her class. She couldn't understand the teacher's methods and was trying her best. I worked with her throughout the school year, twice a week. During the middle of the school year, her teacher left, and they had a sub until the end of the school year. I had to teach her a lot of the lessons since the sub wasn't able to teach the material. At the end of the school year, my student won the award for being the highest achieving student in Algebra 1 of her entire school!

Hobbies and interests:

I enjoy working on our family's small hobby farm, where we have a large garden and grow a lot of our own food. I also love crocheting baby gifts and toys and hanging out with my family - my husband, 2 kids, 3 cats and 1 dog.
