Tutor Information
About
Hello, my name is Laura. I started tutoring ESL elementary-school students a couple years ago, and I would love to continue helping students improve their English skills through online tutoring. I completed by English and Psychology degree at Wilfrid Laurier, and am currently completing my English MA there as well.
A bit about me: I love cats, crochet, and chocolate! As you can see, I also enjoy alliteration. I use both my passion for English and creativity to help accommodate tutoring sessions to fit the needs to the particular student, as I realize every student learns differently.
I am qualified to tutor English for multiple reasons. For one, I have taken multiple English and Psychology courses relevant to teaching the English curriculum, such as: Learning and Developmental Psychology, Infancy and Childhood Psychology, the Fairy Tale, Children’s Literature, Tween Literature and Culture, and Young Adult Literature. I have also demonstrated high academic achievement. My overall GPA average is 9.6, while my Criminology minor GPA is 10.00. A specific academic achievement I have made in university is being on the Dean's Honour Roll in 2019.
Relevant Skills:
• Proven ability to create and facilitate positive experiential learning environments developed through various academic and community volunteer roles
• A history of academic merit and academic excellence as evidenced through both high school and university performance
• Excellent oral and written communication skills established through years of daily practice analyzing, summarizing, and creating written materials, conducting research, and effectively communicating ideas and concepts in classroom and group discussions
• Strong computer skills applied to the successful completion of post-secondary studies, customer service roles, and community volunteer positions through the regular use of Microsoft Office word and PowerPoint, Zoom, and Google docs
