How many times have you looked at the answers to a question you got wrong on a test and realized that you knew how to find the answer you just made a simple mistake. I can help you make less of those mistakes, and that is where the most significant short term growth can be made. If...

...stop seeking knowledge. I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico eating green chile, speaking Spanish, and exploring nature. I was lucky enough to witness the impact innovative teachers and mentors can have from a young age. Since undergrad I have tutored in many subjects: math, SAT prep, Spanish, and biology. Spanish is my love; I studied it as an undergraduate and believe that the key to learning anything is understanding how the subject matter fits...

...with a troubled student. I can also tell when the student is drained and can't absorb any more information, which is equally as important. I've been speaking Spanish for over 23 years when I started from not speaking a word to reading and speaking with my Latin family.

...Comparative Government, English Language and English Literature. I believe that students learn best when a seemingly complex subject is broken down into simple and logical pieces, and the pieces are made relatable and relevant to students. I also believe that for students struggling with subjects like History and English, test-taking skills are just as important as learning content. I am currently working as an AmeriCorps member at Community for Youth, a mentoring organization aimed at...

I have also spent over 200 hours in SAT Prep classes, and have extremely satisfactory results that is proof of my ability to help...

...the hatred that somehow is connected to math because it is hard. But I believe that while mathematics may seem difficult, it is because it is not broken down into small chunks enough. And that is where tutoring comes in! As a tutor I will try and break the art of mathematics down into small puzzles that only need brain power to fix. With this method it allows the student to learn how to solve...

I've had experience tutoring biology, math, and environmental science for the Athletic Department at UW and serving as a Teacher Assistant for UW's Biology Department, including a biodiversity seminar to Peru.

...most rewarding experiences of my life. Students often gave me positive feedback on my tutoring techniques, and I've seen many of them succeed in their classes after using the tutoring center and getting my help.

As a tutor, I've always tried to put myself in the student's shoes and try to find different methods of explaining the same material until I am certain...

...subjects in middle and high school math, and also work with students to prepare for SAT mathematics. This year I have volunteered at a high school in North Portland as a writing tutor as well as a math and science tutor.
