Meet Our Team

Meet Christine. She has been a teacher in Arizona for three years but before moving to Arizona to teach, she grew up and went to school in Connecticut. She received her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Liberal Arts from Southern Connecticut State University and recently completed my master’s degree in Sociology with an Emphasis on Education from Grand Canyon University. Working with children has always been a passion, and she enjoys being able to work in the Tutor Doctor setting and support our Valley’s families.

Among her personal interest are reading, drawing, volunteering, and finding the newest restaurants in the valley. Road trips and weekend getaways are amazing in the southwest, and she and her new husband take them regularly.

I have lived in Arizona for the last 6 years, but I was born in Tucson originally and I moved to California with my family when I was 10 years old. I love reading, spending time with family, watching movies, but most especially I love music. I enjoy working with students to help them to understand the tasks they’re trying to accomplish and to help them increase their self-confidence about their learning potential. I model organizational skills that help students get a better grasp on their homework, prepping for assessments, and other commitments.

I have many years of classroom experience that I am happy to utilize to support your student’s academic success.

I believe having excellent temperance and exercising good communication are necessary building blocks to live this life and excel inside of it. My dog Arrow and I love exploring various trails and dog parks around the city. When we’re not doing this, cheering on the Phoenix Suns and spending quality time with friends and family also makes for a well-rounded and ultimately fulfilling time.

I have lived in Arizona for 6 years and am originally from a small farming town in Southern Utah.

I love reading, dancing, hiking, and exploring the world around me. I believe that education is a life-long journey that never stops. There is always something new and different to explore. Every person has their own unique learning style and I love finding new ways to teach and enagage students to find out what best helps them to grow and gain understanding.

There is more to life than the grade, but the grade can be a good reflection of the journey they are taking at times. I believe in hard work with a hearty side of laughter and look forward to laughing with you and your child.

Joel has over a decade of professional teaching experience. He tends to pose questions to his students rather than directly giving them the answers, encouraging them to critically think to achieve an answer.

Joel’s hobbies include playing guitar, playing video games with his nieces and nephews, playing Dungeons & Dragons games, painting figures, and writing. He enjoys comic books, action movies, and embraces learning about history and new science breakthroughs.

Hi!! My name is Sam. I am a Senior at ASU majoring in Computer Science at ASU. I am very happy to be able to tutor you on courses you need help with.

As a college-student I had to go through the same issues that you currently face in school. Do no fret though. I will be able to guide you and help you get through these obstacles.

Apart from tutoring students, I love to watch football (soccer) or hike with my friends during the weekends.

I am Biomedical Sciences and Ethics student at ASU, and will be working to get my PhD after I graduate so I can work in the research field on Alzheimer’s. When I am not at school or at work, I am involved in the DNA Nanotechnology lab at ASU working on DNA origami.

My teaching style is a good mix of lecturing and demonstrating. I enjoy using household objects that are memorable for demonstrations so that my students have an easier time conceptualizing topics and can use the tool around them when they are stuck. I also see great value in getting my students to see how their work in a class applies to real life whether it is the topic to just the commitment to understanding something difficult and pushing themselves to do something difficult in order to achieve their goals.

I was born and raised in Yuma, Arizona, and have lived in the Phoenix Area for the past year. During my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, exercising, playing video games, and watching movies.

Growing up, my favorite subjects were math and science, and I am sure a huge reason for why I enjoyed these subjects so much was because of the passion and interest my teachers showed in the classroom. During my experience as an educator, I have always brought that same passion to  my students. It is crucial for students to understand how the subjects they learn in the classroom apply to the real world, and how they can use these tools for their future.

Furthermore, I believe that an effective educator has to be mindful of each student’s style and personality, and must adapt to fit their needs accordingly. I try to get to know my students so I can help them form connections between the new material they are learning and concepts they are already familiar with.

I am an Arizona native; born in Flagstaff, AZ, but have called the East Valley area home since Junior High. I enjoy traveling, listening to music, being in nature and spending time with family and friends.

I taught for 4 years in the elementary setting as well as tutored or completed practicum at the junior high level. My favorite thing about teaching is getting students to have those “aha” moments where it finally clicks. I am a neurodiverse learner myself and understand the importance of exploring different learning styles to find the ones that work best for the student.

I look forward to working with your student!
