Bio
Wanting to get ahead or catch up for the summer? Studying for SAT or ACT ? Hi! I am Akili Thrower. I have hosted over 2200 tutoring sessions. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Math and Chemistry and a Master's in Teacher Leadership. I have mostly taught grades 2-12. I love helping students understand the subject that I love. I have taught and tutored in brick and mortar as well as online. Helping a student reach the "ah ha" moment is my goal. I find it rewarding when I help a student grasp the concept. My experience has taught me that every student learns differently. Consequently, I have adapted and learned how to break down topics in various ways so that each student understands. I have enjoyed the past three years tutoring with Stride. When I am not teaching or tutoring, I spend time with my husband, two kids, and two cats. I look forward to having the opportunity to help your student have the "ah ha" moment and grasp concepts that may be confusing.
