Emily James

Tutor

Hi! I am a rising senior at Covenant College, majoring in Elementary Education. As the oldest of ten children, I have spent much of my life helping care for and teach my younger siblings. That experience sparked my passion for working with kids and showed me just how rewarding it is to help them grow, learn, and thrive. Children reflect joy, creativity, and love in a unique way, and I aim to teach in a way that nurtures those image-bearing qualities.

Professionally, I’ve worked two summers as a Learning Center counselor at Chattanooga Christian School, where I gained hands-on experience supporting students with special needs—something I found deeply meaningful. Since July 2024, I have also been tutoring an Autistic student, further strengthening my passion and skills in individualized education.

In addition to special education, I’ve tutored math for high school peers, helped a 4th grader achieve straight As, and provided consistent babysitting for both my own siblings and other families. I also spent a summer as a full-time caregiver for a woman with cerebral palsy, which taught me patience, empathy, and adaptability.

I’m available to tutor students of all grade levels in most subjects—excluding high school science and history—and I also offer SAT/ACT prep. Whether your child needs academic support or you’re looking for trustworthy childcare, I would love the opportunity to serve your family!
