...helping them reach their educational goals. I'm currently a 4.0 student at the Texas State Honors college working towards a BA in International Relations and Business Administration. I am a State-qualified Debate and DECA competitor. I was raised in France and Germany in a very multicultural home and learned English at a British school in France. I use an engaging teaching style and opt towards real world applications for clarifying concepts and helping stymie learning.

I hope to help not only with specific learning goals but also to guide in the formation of tools that will help...

...as well as a 14 year career as a Research Scientist at a R & D company. As a stay at home parent, I am always looking for opportunities to tutor and stretch my mind and help students do the same! Because of my career as a scientist, I focus on the importance of understanding fundamental concepts, not just studying to take and pass a test. My goal is to help my students succeed.

I have remote teaching experience, so I'm looking forward to tutoring a wide variety...

My interest in foreign languages started in middle school, and since then I've had a lot of first-hand experience with the language-learning process.
