Doris: Hyde Park tutor

Certified Tutor

I believe in the power of education and how it can really transform lives. Learning a new language is not only learning another skill, it'a a way to look the world with new googles and tune up what you have seen till now.

I have been working in in K-12 and higher education for more than15 years. I have mostly worked in the public (Ministry of Education of Peru = U.S. Department of Education) and private sectors (research centers and private university, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru - PUCP). I have been involved in the areas of educational administration, strategic planning, project management and evaluation, leadership and academic culture research, and teaching undergraduates.

I have also worked and volunteered in nonprofit organizations with youth and adults in Peru and in the United States. My work has been related to leading educational programs, writing curricula and facilitating workshops such as social skills for the workplace, community organizing, parenting skills to enhance children's academic performance, and basic education skills.

I received a B.A. in Psychology from PUCP. In addition, I hold diplomas in Gender Studies, and Human Resources. As a LASPAU-Fulbright scholar, I obtained her M.Ed. in Organizational Leadership from Vanderbilt University.
