Hello everyone!! My name is Angela Thompson and I have always had such a love of learning! For as long as I can remember I knew I wanted to teach and help others understand our world a little bit better. I have a BA in Education and have taught middle level Science, Reading, and English; I also have experience teaching 4 year olds in a Head Start setting and have two children of my own. I know how precious our youth is and am honored to work with future generations of great thinkers.

My teaching philosophy holds that personal connections with subjects through inquisitive, engaging lessons nurtures the special gifts and unique capabilities that each individual possesses.

I make an excellent tutor because I care about the progress of each individual. I take into account the varying learning styles and tailor subject matter presentation accordingly. Positive focus is a powerful thing and encouragement is invaluable. I have high expectations of my learners and we all delight in successes as growth is accomplished.

I will always aim for the most impactful use of time during these intellectual exchanges with my eye towards a bright future. Read less

Being sensitive to student reactions and constant re-evaluation of teaching style effectiveness also helps to ensure student mastery. Read less
