Treat Shepardson

I balance discussion-based, student-driven learning with disciplined practice to build bullet proof skills that transer across subjects.

I begin by transforming disinterest, confusion, and apathy into trust. With a trust guide and obstacles identified, students feel empowered to embrace change. This growth mindset fosters comfort with challenges from dissecting intimidating triangles to illuminating cryptic vocabulary.

My lifelong love of humor and games enables instant and lasting connections with students, especially tweens and teens. This supported my tutoring career that began in high school tutoring middle schoolers in math.

As a ravenous reader and writer with an interest in social justice and the humanities, I am devoted to teaching students to appreciate English as a medium to contribute to personal and collective growth. 

I enjoy flexing my teaching skills with family and friends. I am menotring my brother in cycling in the city and after nearly 2 years of resisting, my dog Rosie can now confidently roll over.
