March's Tutor of the Month!!!!

Choosing the tutor of the month is always such a difficult decision! We could not say more honestly that if we could honor all tutors every month, we would. Since we do have to narrow it down to one, we are pleased to announce that Angela Yee is this month's award recipient.

In addition to going above and beyond for her students, Angela also takes an active part in Educational Connections as an organization. This month, Angela will be the EC representative at George Mason's annual child development fair. Angela will be presenting our information to teachers and professionals, as well as trying to recruit a few good men and women as tutors.

When asked about her inspiration behind her sessions, this is what Angela said:

Tutoring students in one-on-one settings is something I look forward to every day! It is very different than working with students in a classroom setting (I'm also a first grade teacher). In the classroom, there is always too much material to cover, a set curriculum to follow, and very little time for individual attention. Tutoring, on the other hand, is focused on one student's needs. Although there are still academic goals, each session can be formatted based on what the student currently needs to work on. The students look forward to the individualized attention and are always eager to see me. I enjoy watching my students progress from week to week and build confidence and self-esteem. Tutoring sessions are a very rewarding time for both me and the students!

There you have it folks! Words of wisdom from the one, the only Angela Yee!
