Maria Cristina: Quincy tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Florida Atlantic University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences with a focus on Environmental Sciences. Since graduation, I have obtained my ESL (English as a Second Language) certification and traveled around Europe, tutoring students from China and Spain learning ESL online, worked at a bilingual school in Southern Spain developing/presenting the English curriculum for English classes, Natural and Social Sciences, partnered with the "Booknook" program in California teaching immigrants how to read like a "native speaker" and worked with adults in Spain looking to improve their English. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Natural Sciences, and Phonics. In my experience working with diverse students, the most remarkable advancements are made when a connection is created between the material presented and something the student already enjoys. This allows for relatability and real life scenarios to take place making the information easier to grasp. I am a firm believer that one does not stop learning simply because they are done with school. Knowledge holds much power and the more we nourish our minds the more equipped we will be. I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading romance novels, boxing, pilates, rollerblading by the beach and game nights with friends.
