PrepNow Tutor - Gabrielle C.
Gabrielle has worked with students from kindergarten to adults, mostly focusing on high school and college-level students. Having developed curricula and published a book for English language learners, she is well-versed in the best practices to help students approach learning with less stress and more efficiency. Her background in science and pre-med has given her expert knowledge she’s eager to pass on—in school, her nickname was “the physics queen!” She’s proud to share that her students have made significant improvements in their grades and test scores. “I find joy in helping others through their challenges and when they are able to achieve their best,” she shares.
Gabrielle received a BA in teacher education from Boston College. She also holds a BA in biology from the University of North Georgia, where, as of winter 2023, she is a clinical dental assistant. In addition to tutoring, she’s excited to go to dental school to become a dentist.
Gabrielle sees herself as an adaptable facilitator. “I do my best to strengthen their weaknesses by delving deeper into what is inhibiting them from navigating through certain topics and problems,” she explains. Whether they’re looking to strengthen any weaknesses or tackle higher-level concepts, she’s adaptable and methodological in her approach, often using “illustrations, references from other subjects, analogies,” to find what sticks. Regarding test prep, time-management skills are her forte! “I do my best to engage students' interests and guide them so that they’re able to make sound choices, even under pressure,” she adds.
A Mathematics Olympiad champion in high school, Gabrielle also earned the US Presidential Award—in both 1994 and 1998—for her academic excellence. Her exemplary score on the math regents exam earned her the Regents Scholarship in 2020 and 2021.
A music lover, Gabrielle loves singing in her free time. She was even part of a university chorale that toured all over Europe. She’s currently a member of a local chorale society that puts on biannual concerts and, “each year,” she says, “my school has a joint concert where we sing with the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops Orchestras!”
