I am Ashley, I am a Cybersecurity student and a tutor. My goal is to help students begin the stages of their college admissions and enrollment process. I am confident that my effectiveness, knowledge, strategic educator skills and shared experiences will help all learners that attend my tutoring sessions. I have knowledge and mastery in all subjects, all ELA concepts, Math (arithmetic, expressions, equations, algebra) Science (Chemistry and Biology) History (world history) and Technology (software components, network security, operating systems, fundamentals of technology). If any learners(students) or tutors need help with any of these educational subjects or have a question about a concept that is not listed feel free to message me to schedule a session.

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.

If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.
