About Reilly

Hi! My name is Reilly. I hold a B. S. in psychology and education from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. During my time there, I focused my studies primarily on developmental psychology and children's literature. I have experience tutoring children ages 5 - 15 in math, reading, and history. I have taught in and developed curriculum for traditional, virtual, and special ed classrooms. I believe that every child is at their best when they are learning material in a way that is interesting to them. As a tutor, I tailor my instruction style to meet each student's needs with the end goal of making learning fun! That being said, two pillars of my teaching philosophy remain constant no matter the learner: compassion and patience. Students can't learn when they feel stressed, inadequate, or insecure. Tutoring creates a space for children to not only build their academic skills, but also improve their self-esteem, confidence, and resilience.
