I believe that every student can learn, and I will work tirelessly to help each student reach their full potential.

I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Linguistics. I have experience tutoring high school students in biology and chemistry as well as elementary school students in reading and math. I also served as a teaching apprentice for two semesters in the introductory biology lab course at UNC. While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Chemistry, and science. I believe that education is extremely important, and I hope to inspire a love of learning in all of the students I tutor. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing ultimate frisbee, and making art.

I have found math tutoring very exciting. I have been able to help thousands of struggling students in Community College and also students wanting to enter college, but lacking basic skills. The ability to help such students give me tremendous satisfaction.I have found that most students have a willingness to do well, but lack the understanding as to how to pursue their goals. It is only after winning over these students, and in many cases, even going out of the way to help them, that they are really able to succeed.

I love my job as an educator and truly enjoy helping others reach their academic goals.I have a BS in Food and Nutrition and a MBA in HealthCare Management. I also am a Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Educator and Certified Health Coach.As a Health Coach I use motivational interviewing to help clients feel empowered to make decisions without being judged or feeling inferior.It is very rewarding to aid clients in the learning process and to celebrate their every success.I am looking forward to working with you and excited to become your tutor.

Corporate CPA by day tutor by night. Let my experiences and knowledge guide you. My parents were immigrants so I could not ask them for help with school work. But I was able to study hard and was able to graduate as high school valedictorian and with summa cum laude in college. Even though I work in corporate I believe in giving back and educating the future.

I have many ardent interests in my life. Educating children in foreign languages and cultures incites the greatest passion in me. To sow and nurture the seeds that awaken in a young child interest in foreign languages and cultures brings to me great satisfaction. My attraction to the Spanish language comes from the cultural richness common to the people for whom it is their native tongue. Through my rigorous study of Spanish, I came to discover that the Spanish character shares much in common with my Russian character. A core tenet of my philosophy on teaching a foreign language is to first get the children to recognize what they share with a foreign people. Seeing what binds them to a different culture promotes a healthy respect for people and customs that differ from their own. I personally serve to illustrate how a non-native speaker can come to embrace and master a foreign language and culture.A rule that I adopt in my class is the "no English" rule. I speak Spanish to my students at all times and expect them to also use exclusively Spanish. I have found that my students will master a language much more rapidly if they are prevented from using their native tongue while in class. If the class does not understand at first, I continue talking around the subject using familiar vocabulary until the students comprehend. Another tactic I use to improve proficiency in a language is to have the students speak in complete sentences. Building raw vocabulary is important, but without the ability to join these words together to express thoughts and feelings, mastery of a language is just not possible. I never translate or lecture my students. Instead, I engage them in an interactive dialogue that is adjusted to their level of competency. To foster their desire to express themselves, I integrate topics of interests to the students (e.g. soccer, vacations, food).Teaching languages affords me lots of opportunities to do fun and creative activities in my classes. To avoid monotony, I use my imagination to come up with original dialogues with which the students can relate. I use a very animated teaching style and try to create anticipation in students to keep them engaged. I often use games and songs with younger children. With older students, I integrate more cultural components such as music, customs, art, sports, clothing, etc. My older students will come to understand that language is dynamic and reflects the culture in which it is spoken - language is cultural. The history of Spanish speaking countries is also incorporated into my curriculum. I employ cooperative group work and activities to improve student participation and bonding. I often use friendly team competition to help to motivate students.My classroom management strategy is highly proactive. I try to avoid problems by providing a structured setting with clear instructions and expectations. I post a daily schedule at the beginning of each class. I establish a daily routine for collecting homework and distributing papers and assignments. Each assignment clearly indicates what is expected from the students and when it is due. I often provide handouts to help students organize their work and to provide examples they can follow. During class, I move around the room to attend to individual needs and to quickly respond to problems that might be brewing. I reinforce positive behavior and quickly remind students not exhibiting desired behavior of my class rules. If disruptive behavior continues, I make it clear to the student that they are pursuing a path that will lead to undesirable consequences for them consistent with my class rules. I also involve students in evaluating their work so they come to understand how I grade and how they can improve their grade.

I believe that a proper education is crucial in this day and age for all students. As a tutor, I hope to help my students ensure that they fully understand all of their course material so that they are set up for academic success.

In 2015 I graduated from Valparaiso University with Bachelor's degrees in History and Classical Studies, taking classes in both Latin and civilization, and minored in Theology. While in college I participated in a number of tutoring programs where I tutored not only my peers in college level classes but also worked with local elementary school students as they prepared for their ISTEP exams. After graduation I served for two years at a high school in Chicago as part of a post-graduate volunteer program. While there I was able to teach sections of Latin and World History. As a tutor I look forward not only to helping students achieve their academic goals, but also guiding them to a greater appreciation for their education, especially in the area of history and Latin. In my two years as a teacher I have found that often a student gains far more from the one-to-one experiences. I look forward to the opportunity to bring out the best in each student in this way.

Exhausted, my legs swollen, sweating during my training as a doctor. My legs were giving out a bit during long hours of surgery. It did not bother, because of the immense feeling of gratification that comes with applying my complex knowledge to comfort, heal, and help others. It is through these experiences, feel alive, refreshed, and invigorated despite long working hours. I am reliable and trustworthy, always ready to work as long as it takes to get the work done. I volunteered at Hennepin county medical center, did observerships under renowned doctors. I got a job as a clinical research associate in clinical anesthesia and cardiothoracic surgery with multiple publications. I have always been passionate about being a surgeon. When I started my residency preliminary in general surgery, it was hectic because I was expected to be at 2 or 3 places at one particular time or do 2 or 3 things at one point. In the beginning, I felt, how was it even humanly possible? Weeks later, I learned that it was possible with patience, prioritizing, time management, and strategizing everything we do, be it the studies or the work.Every experience has taught me the skills I need, to listen and be able to hear even when the other person is silent, hesitant, or shy, I learned to be patient when things don't go the way I would want when it comes to certain medical situations or learning/reading about a medical condition but at the same time taught me perseverance, persistence, and motivation to find other ways to improve. I would use the same technique in teaching. If one method does not work, not to get depressed or upset but explore different approaches. I have always felt joyful in sharing my knowledge, whether it is healing a patient or teaching a rising student or a fellow student. I felt the field's necessary traits were more organic to my personality. I believe that learning has to be more visual, fun, and like storytelling. Many of us still remember our favorite movie/book and how the main lead had kicked so many bad guys. Yes, we have to learn and make every subject into our favorite movies/stories. I am here to help you with that.

My passion for teaching has grown over the years, from teaching my own children to each new student in my classroom. I have been teaching a variety of students for the past fifteen years: PreK-high school students from the U.S.: Massachusetts, California, Oregon, Florida, Maryland, Michigan and Texas; and international children, adult, business and university students from Asia, Europe and Latin America. My teaching settings have varied with my travels: I have had the opportunity to teach ESL Business classes to executives at multinational companies in Ecuador, South America. There, I branched out to university students to prepare them for a Standardized Test, or to continue their studies in English abroad. In Boston, I taught at two large language institutes with a variety of international students of all ages, from 5 to 80. I have taught ESL subjects, and Spanish to high school students. Additionally, I have taught Reading in English and Spanish to PreK-Middle school students. I'm passionate about teaching: Reading in English or Spanish; Spanish 1,2,3, 4 using a variety of standard school textbooks; ESL subjects: Conversation, Pronunciation, Reading, Writing, Listening, Idioms, Grammar, and Business topics. I possess several ESL teaching certificates: TESOL, TKT and SEI (public school) and I completed my U.S. certified, university education in Ecuador, South America, Bachelor of Arts, Business Administration degree. My hobbies include reading about history and biographies, cooking, and traveling. Creating a motivating learning atmosphere where students can excel is important to me. My classroom allows for learning where you feel interested, actively participating, wanting to speak, and absorbing the language and the culture, which will make all the difference in how YOU learn. I look forward to helping you reach your goals in learning together.
