Emma Schmidt

For the last five years, Emma has been tutoring students in grades K-6 in all subject areas, including English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. She also has extensive experience working with toddlers and preschoolers, including sign language and early literacy skills. In her work with elementary students, she enjoys developing personalized materials to meet the specific needs of her students. She’s experienced in working with students with ASD, as well as students with a wide range of special needs. She provides support in organization and study skills, and incorporates these into all of her tutoring sessions. In addition, she enjoys teaching cooking to children and incorporating science experiments whenever possible.
Emma says: “Hello! Let me introduce myself. My name is Emma, and I recently graduated from Indiana University. Before declaring a major, I always thought about what I loved doing, what jobs I always gravitated towards, and when I felt like my best self. After answering those questions, it was clear! I was meant to work with tiny humans. When asked why I loved to teach, the answer was always: when I get help students have those “ah ha!” moments. Knowing this, I decided to become a tutor because I love getting to see those moments and the progress they make. When I was younger I also had a tutor, so I know the impact one has when helping a child learn and succeed with a little extra help! When I’m not helping tiny humans, I enjoy cooking (especially half-baked harvest recipes), going for walks along the Charles River, and trying all the new coffee shops. My favorite hobby would be traveling! I have been to Italy twice, Greece twice, and when I was teaching abroad I visited Ireland, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. I’m excited to meet you and help your child meet their full potential.“
