Taylor Planke (She/Her)

Hi! I’m Taylor, and I’m going into my fourth year at Memorial University, where I’m majoring in Linguistics and minoring in Psychology. After I graduate, I’m hoping to continue my education and pursue a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology! I’ve always really enjoyed working with kids and have lots of experience through tutoring, coaching, volunteering, etc. I’m an outgoing and patient person, and I always try to make tutoring feel comfortable and encouraging rather than stressful. I know everyone learns differently, so I’m always happy to slow things down, explain something a different way, or go through it as many times as we need to! Outside of school and tutoring, I love spending time with my friends and family, staying active, and being around people in general. I’m really looking forward to another year with EDUCO and getting to know the students I’ll be working with!
