Hi! My name is Courtney, but I like to be called Janae (my middle name). I am currently attending California Baptist University completing a degree in Software Engineering with a minor in Construction Management. Though my expertise in school is engineering, I am equipped to tutor students in all levels of math and state testing(such as SATs and ACTs).
I have experience tutoring my younger siblings in subjects ranging from elementary school algebra to high school physics. I also have experience working with students in Big Brother Big Sister, a mentoring program in elementary schools in Riverside. When working with Big Brother Big Sister, I was able to patiently help students with their homework. Many of the children appreciated how I was able to explain the concept of their homework with many examples until they were able to completely understand the concept.
I have a deep passion for education and a strong desire to help others learn. In my future, I want to be a computer programming teacher to elementary students. I believe that students have the ability to find their interests at any age, but should be given the opportunity to start in primary school. For now, I am using this tutoring experienceto help fund my college expenses.
I am currrently working on my relationship with God. Although I do believe that our relationship has been getting better, I know that I have a long journey to go. I started this journey when I realized that multiple people were entering my life, then leaving after different traumatic events. I started to learn that God was teaching me different lessons about each person he was putting in my life to enhance my skills to endure a greater event in the future. During this time I gave my life to Jesus. Currently I am still being put through challenges in my life and learning about the good and the bad in the people that I am associating myself with. However, God is slowly teaching me which friends will last a lifetime and who will bring me down. He is also giving me love that I cannot gain from any other human being. I could not be any more thankful for the things that God is doing in my life.
