About Brooke
I bring energy, passion, positivity, and patience to my students. I am a whiz at helping students organize chaos and prioritize demands so they can feel calm, in control, and get down to business to accomplish their goals.
I love to help people learn and feel great because they really understand something.
My first teaching job was for a year at a boarding school where I taught ESL, United States history, coached skiing, and was a student advisor. In addition, I was an admissions officer in charge of finding new students for the school. I then tutored freelance as well as with a tutoring company in Upstate New York. Later, I became a tutor for Schenectady City School District and tutored students in their homes, online, as well as in the Schenectady County Correctional Facility.
I have a Masters in Liberal Studies with a focus on English and History.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Communications.
I have tutored grades 5-12 in Schenectady both In the Schenectady City School District.
I have tutored students freelance.
I taught one year (English as a Second Language and United States history) in the classroom.
I homeschooled my two sons from Grade 1 through Grade 12.
In my youth, I lived in Bangkok, Thailand for four and a half years and spoke intermediate Thai there.
I have traveled to many countries in Central and Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East as well as to Brazil and Nicaragua.
My passion for learning, my education, and my training make it natural for me to communicate and empathize with my students as they find their way.

I want to know what a student is having trouble with and what they will consider success.
Where in your studies do you feel most overwhelmed ?
What will you consider "success" in your studies ?
For me, successful tutoring is based on a strong relationship which we create with open communication. To be of service to my students, it is important that we communicate clearly throughout the tutoring process and alter our strategies as we proceed so I can help my students go as far as they can.
I have worked with grades 5 through 12.
Find someone you think will be able to listen to you, is patient, has a sense of humor, and is willing to try different things to help you do well and succeed at what you want to achieve.
I helped a student succeed in getting his general equivalency diploma after he had failed twice. This was very gratifying for me and the student both.
I homeschooled my sons and watched them graduate and then go on to university.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do I really want to put in the time and effort to learn?
Can I commit to doing my best?
Can I be patient with myself and with the tutor as we get to know each other?
Exactly what is my desired outcome for tutoring?
Specifically what do I want to learn?
What do I want to work on and improve?
What will success look like for me?

Brooke is an amazing tutor. She is very patient with her students. My son needed help and she tried several different tutoring techniques with him until he finally got it. I would highly recommend her. So far, she is the best tutor I have ever found. Thanks to Brooke my son was eager to learn and couldn’t wait to get on her virtual sessions.
