Award Winning Academic Tutoring & Test Prep

I've had experience tutoring at Kumon Learning Center where I had to engage and encourage multiple students - whose ages ranged from 3 to 15 - at a time. I currently tutor SAT Verbal, Writing and Reading Comp strategies at Karen Dillard's College Prep. I also privately tutored my peers in Spanish while I was an undergraduate at the University of Dallas. One-on-one tutoring provides students with an opportunity to receive the extra instruction and attention that they don't always receive in a classroom setting. There is nothing more frustrating than struggling to understand new concepts and new materials that everyone in your class already understands. As a former Spanish major in a classroom full of native Spanish-speakers, I absolutely can relate to this feeling.

As a tutor I make my sessions something the student looks forward to and doesn't dread. I am charismatic and approachable, and I make sure that the student feels comfortable asking questions or for further clarification, and that he or she feels comfortable making mistakes. I am an avid believer in positive reinforcement. Maintaining the student's attention and enthusiasm is a priority for making my tutoring sessions effective and fruitful.
