"While working with Summerbridge Houston, I tutored intelligent students who unfortunately did not have have the resources available at their schools to help them fully excel, in order to help them reach their potential. I have also served as a teaching assistant at Southern Methodist University. In my personal life, I fully support students in Mexico with their various educational needs. Eventually, I want to teach at a community college."

" 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."

"I have always believed that we live in a vast and interesting world that is full of secrets to be uncovered by just asking why. As a tutor, I make sure that all my students know why they are doing and learning each and every topic.

"Since graduating, I have been tutoring one student in both biology and algebra. I have always been very highly regarded for my tutoring with excellent results in my students. During my junior and senior years at UC Berkeley, I acted as a mentor to an underclass chemical engineering student. While I was not directly tutoring the student, I was passing on my experiences and knowledge of the program and college life. Along with tutoring, I am also an assistant coach for high school cross country and track and field teams. In my spare time I enjoy watching movies and hanging out with my friends.." ...

" A lot of students have trouble learning because they are just trying to memorize rules instead of learning why things work, and this comes up if they don't have a teacher who really cares about explaining the subject matter in a way that students can understand. I have had success teaching in the past because I care about whether or not my students understand what I am teaching, and I will do everything in my power to explain things in a simple, humorous, and hopefully memorable fashion.

"I can also tutor high school Spanish, essay help, and some science (biology and chemistry).
My clients have ranged from junior high to college, covering algebra to geometry to calculus. I have been tutoring since I was in junior high myself, helping kids just one year below me in school.

"I have taught students of all ages and find it particularly rewarding to work with those who have learning challenges.
In my free time, I love reading mysteries, horror novels, true crime books and general fiction. I also spend time furthering my knowledge of Forensic Science (I'm actually a trained CSI!). I'm also passionate about animals and volunteer at a wildlife rescue center.
I truly care about all of my students and do everything I can to help them be successful and independent learners!."
