"I started out in school as a Biology major, then switched to Chemistry with a Spanish minor. When I finished with the classes for the Spanish minor and was taking solely Chemistry classes, I realized how much Spanish had become a part of me and how I deeply missed it, so I switched my degree, yet again, to Spanish. I have always had a passion helping students do better in school. I ultimately want to be a high school teacher.."

" I will never get tired of witnessing those “a-ha!” moments in my students. Helping a student understand a concept or simply soliciting a smile out of him or her is sometimes all the encouragement a teacher needs.
I pride myself on having a positive attitude and confront most situations with a smile. I firmly believe that when you change your mindset you can change the world. I can easily adapt to varying situations and have done so many times in my life."

"I have taught students of all ages and find it particularly rewarding to work with those who have learning challenges.

" As a result, I have learned how to identify students' learning styles, and most importantly, how to make unpleasant topics interesting -- or at least less unpleasant. Moreover, I have experienced the frustration and the struggles many students face in different subjects. In college as a music major, general math requirements were the bane of my existence. I had to retake classes and attend tutoring sessions myself. But eventually, I discovered how to tackle it, and down the road, chose to stick with the math and study economics.

"My teaching style is to break down complex tasks into smaller pieces so that the final concept can be understood at every stage. I believe that the best way to learn a new type of problem is to relate it to something you already know how to do. Every question is a question worth asking, and I will always take the time to adapt to your learning style and present material in the way that is easiest for you to understand.."

" I worked as an intern for a couple of years at an after school tutoring program for students who were behind grade level and I received the "Intern Award" two semesters in a row.
I work well with all students because I am a patient and understanding tutor. I can relate to the frustrations of a struggling student and I love seeing that moment of understanding in a student's eyes. I am creative and great at breaking down hard to understand concepts."
