About Emily
Hi! I'm Emily and I would love to work with you!
I have been tutoring since the summer of 2020 and I love it! I found that working with kids is my passion and that is why I have decided to pursue a degree in Elementary Education.
I love tutoring because I love helping kids of all ages (see below). I love coming up with fun, engaging activities to accompany a subject. I love finding out how a student is smart and using their strengths to reinforce a topic.
I just love working with kids! :)
I have worked with a variety of age groups. One of my first experiences working with kids was creating creating craft projects for 3-5 years olds attending a church program.
In addition, I have worked with students in grades K-3 and also 5th-6th grade.
The thing I like the most about tutoring is experiencing those mind-blowing moments when I teach a student a tip, trick, or shortcut that makes a math problem so much easier, and I hear them say something like, "Wow! It's like magic!"
Tutoring is so satisfying because oftentimes, I learn right alongside the student! There have been several times where I have noticed a certain pattern while teaching a specific math concept, and I get just as excited as the student (sometimes even more so!). I think it is important to show kids that teens and adults are still learning new things every day, just like them, and it is exciting to learn something new!
I began teaching when I was 12, when my friend and I created and led craft time for a preschoolers' church program. I got my first official tutoring job when I was 16, and ever since I have loved working with kids!
My dad is also a teacher, and I have always enjoyed going to work with him every once in a while and helping create lesson plans, teach a small lesson, or even grade papers!
I began teaching music to my next door neighbor right after her family moved in. Since then, I have begun teaching recorder for a homeschool enrichment program, as well as private piano lessons.
For math, I have taken several college classes on how to teach math to a variety of students.
For piano, I took a teacher's course through Piano By Number.

My typical process for working with a new student usually includes asking them a few questions (favorite color, animal, sport, etc.) so I know what would make a certain subject more relatable. The first couple classes I start with an icebreaker, which helps ease the tension that can sometimes come with doing something new.
As far as the lessons goes, I like to have a wide variety of activities (specifically for math, I like to do fast facts, worksheets, mental math, etc.). After the first few lessons, I like to give the student the choice of what they would like to do at a specific time ("Would you like to do a worksheet now or save it until the end of the lesson?").
For piano lessons, I use a curriculum called Piano By Number. It is how both my siblings and I used to learn, and now we are all teaching! For the first few lessons with new students, I help them set up the numbers on their piano, point out basic notes, and help them play a simple song, as well as play some games. Every lesson is different, and every lesson is a blast!
I have worked with 3-5 year olds, K-3 students, and a 5th grader who was transitioning to middle school. I have worked with audio, visual, and kinesthetic learners, and it is always fun to figure out a specific activity that would help them learn best!

Our family has thoroughly enjoyed working with Emily so far! She teaches our children in recorder and piano, and both have thrived under her tutelage! She creates fun and educational games, is kind and patient, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great teacher for their student.
Emily is intelligent, resourceful, creative, patient, kind and funny. She genuinely cares about my son and his educational success. She has made such a big positive influence in his life. She has boosted his confidence and his math skills! She makes learning fun by bringing in creative exercises, realistic goals, and fun incentives! My son really looks up to her and I am very grateful we met her!
Emily helped tutoring my daughter during the summer of 2020, working through our 4th grade curriculum. We had great experience and couldn’t be happier. Emily has great communication skills and very passionate in helping my daughter getting though hard concepts in Math and Science. My daughter enjoyed her sessions a lot. I highly recommend Emily.
Emily is a fantastic teacher! She has wonderful creative energy to help my daughter learn in ways that play on her strengths. My daughter always looks forward to her to time with Emily each week.
