Education
Bachelor of Arts degree in English from University of Oregon (2010) Scored a 5 (highest possible) on the AP Literature and Composition test
Experience
I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Oregon with a special interest in children's literature. I have over 6 years of tutoring experience, both privately and through an agency, for grades K-12 and just about every subject. From 2010 to 2012 I worked as a private tutor, focusing primarily on reading and writing, but also helping a few students with math ranging from 5th grade fractions to freshman algebra. I have worked with students as young as 3 and as old as 16. From 2012-2014 I worked with Northwest Behavioral Associates in Bellevue, WA as a tutor for children on the autism spectrum (teaching everything from grammar to social fluency to self-help skills), so I also have extensive experience working with children on the autism spectrum, including OCD, ADD, PDD-NOS, and Aspergers. I am not intimidated by tricky behaviors! I have experience tutoring English language learners (ELL) and assisting with test prep and organizational skills. I am currently in training to become an AMS-certified Montessori 3-6 (Primary) teacher and have assisted in a Montessori classroom since March 2016. My philosophy on working with children is one of deep respect for the child's personhood, development, and need for independence. After taking a brief hiatus from tutoring to get established in my Montessori training I am once again assessing interest and hope to build a clientele for tutoring sessions beginning in January 2017, after the holidays.

I am an artist and writer. If you'd like to see my cartoons and illustrations, feel free to visit my website: http://sharayahp.com I have a young son (2 years old) and together we love to explore nature, read books, and be silly. I love to cook, read novels, graphic novels and comics, go for long walks with my baby and my dog, and draw. I love coffee, Italian food, just about any food with pumpkin in it, and peanut butter by the spoonful.
