As a former student, I know firsthand that the expertise of the teacher does not always correlate with that teacher's effectiveness working with students. Because my teaching is based on years of real-world experience tutoring students, I know that the "textbook" way of explaining things does not work for every student. As such, I view every student uniquely and create a unique tutoring approach based on that student's...

...Spanish-English medical interpreter helping Spanish-speaking patients communicate with their doctors. After that, I worked for an immigration lawyer. Both of these jobs were incredible experiences, but I found the things I got most excited about were the educational parts of the jobs.

My favorite topics to tutor in are Biology and Environmental Science, since I love sharing my interest in the science and using it to help students better understand and enjoy these exciting fields.
