Experience

Education truly is the social justice issue of our time; no other endeavor is so far-reaching in its ability to precipitate change in all other areas of society. It is this principal that drives me as an educator; as a teacher and tutor I am entrusted with the privilege of sharing the gift of culture, conversation and critical-thinking. I taught in a New York City primary school for 4 years, and I currently work in an international school and Dutch school here in the Netherlands. I have a bachelor’s degree in linguistics from Georgetown University and a master’s degree in education from Hunter College, which I received through the New York City Teaching Fellows program. My teaching and tutoring practices are based in student-led, performance-based activities which allow students to work towards their goals at their own pace and according to their own personal learning needs. I am a firm believer in making content relevant and relatable so as to facilitate the integration of new concepts and ideas. I am trained and certified to teach all of the content areas for grades 1-6 (English Language Arts, STEM, Social Studies, etc.), and am also qualified to teach Spanish Language up through the college level. As your tutor, I will do everything I can to help you reach your goals! I am available for online tutoring.

Hobbies

Hey there, I'm Sydney :) By day, I'm shaping young minds in the classroom, but by night, I'm hitting the stage with my band, bringing our unique blend of R&B and pop to audiences across Europe. Originally from the US, I've found my second home in the Netherlands, where I have lived now for over 7 years. I’ve got many hobbies, the most prominent of which is my love for fine dining and wine, especially shared with friends and family. Traveling is another ultimate passion of mine—there's nothing quite like immersing myself in new cultures and exploring the wonders of the world. Likewise, fitness plays a huge role in my life, and dancing is my go-to workout—it's not only great for the body but also for the soul. I thrive on the thrill of trying new things and am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my skill set.
