Marissa Taylor (She/Her)
Hi!! I’m Marissa! I’m currently completing social work as a second degree at Memorial University, while previously completing a psychology honours degree at Grenfell Campus! I will be focused on tutoring a variety of subjects at the primary/elementary level, but I’m also here to help with any Psychology, English or any other electives at the post-secondary level! For some students school work can become overwhelming, and I hope to help alleviate some of that stress by providing a safe and welcoming environment to learn in a way that works best for the student. Everyone has different strengths, and it’s important to find ways to enhance those by finding a path that will allow the student to be the most successful. Outside of tutoring you’ll find me getting some school work done, painting crafts for my small business or scurrying off to one of my other student jobs

Having tutored for several years prior, she believes that tutoring is a gateway to enhancing understanding and adapting to the best style of teaching for each individual student is the key for success. She loves being part of the EDUCO team and cannot wait to meet you! ☺️
