Johnita

Certified Tutor

I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Teaching Physical Science. During my undergraduate years, I was a volunteer tutor for college algebra and physical science, and also ran a math and science tutoring lab for a charter school and did private math tutoring for high school students. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to work as a paraprofessional working one on one with a number of special education students, and tutoring third graders with low literacy scores to improve reading skills. Since November 2011, I have been working as the science teacher at a private boarding school for girls. A lot of my work there has involved working individually with students in chemistry, physics, biology, earth science, various math classes, and a variety of electives. I have traditionally preferred tutoring physics and math, but recently constructed a chemistry course that has built my enthusiasm for that subject. I have had experience teaching students of many ages and abilities, and believe that patient and understanding instruction is paramount to a students success. I am very patient and caring, and I take a sincere interest in my students. I consider myself to be a well rounded person, and have many interests outside of my academic field. I enjoy literature and theatre, and I love to travel and see and experience new things. I have a particular fondness for the outdoors, and enjoy camping, hiking, and biking.
