Durham Tutors from Duke University

My name is Dylan, and I am a sophomore at Duke University studying Psychology, with a minor in Spanish and a certificate in Child Education Policy. I plan to pursue a PhD in educational psychology, with a focus on supporting neurodivergent learners and improving how we support students in academic settings. I offer tutoring for elementary and middle school students in math, English, and Spanish (beginner to intermediate). I’m especially passionate about working with younger students and helping them build long-lasting academic skills in a way that feels engaging and fun. I have several years of experience working with children in both academic and classroom settings. For the past two years, I’ve worked part-time as a co-lead teacher at a preschool, where I help plan activities, build confidence, and work with families. I was also a peer tutor in high school and have additional experience tutoring elementary and middle school students. I’ve volunteered at Club Boulevard Elementary School in Durham, where I worked in their first Spanish/English bilingual kindergarten classroom, helping students with math and reading skills in both languages. I have experience working with neurodivergent learners, particularly students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I enjoy working collaboratively with students to figure out what strategies work best for them to become excited about learning, even for kids who don’t think they like school Outside of academics, I enjoy painting and drawing, as well as running and playing lacrosse, and I bring that creativity and energy to each tutoring session.
