About Eleanor

Hi! I am a recent grad from the University of Alabama with a B. S. in Biology and honors minors in computational research and the liberal arts. I have been working as both a volunteer and a paid tutor for at least six years, supporting an age range from kindergarten preparation to 12th grade. I'm a former homeschooler and have a long history of working with students who have disabilities, special needs, and all sorts of unconventional learning styles and educational systems. I believe in working with students to set goals that will challenge them and using those achievements to boost confidence and ambition - whether kids admit it or not, they are often their own harshest critics. As a lifelong athlete, I will always make time for a student to stretch, take a lap, or express frustration because I know discipline involves listening to your body and not just pushing it. Parents are my greatest resource in figuring out what setup works best for their student to learn.
