Brenda: Tigard tutor
Certified Tutor
As a dedicated educator and experienced researcher, I bring over seven years of expertise in writing, editing, and human rights advocacy to my role as a tutor. While serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of British Columbia, I gained firsthand insight into the challenges students face and the transformative power of compassionate, student-centered guidance.
My approach to tutoring is rooted in fostering horizontal relationships, where students feel empowered to learn and grow collaboratively. I believe that knowledge is a shared resource, and I strive to create an environment where students feel supported and encouraged to overcome obstacles. My teaching philosophy emphasizes kindness and adaptability, understanding that academic struggles often require tailored solutions and a patient mentor.
Specializing in writing, editing, Spanish, and Social Justice, I leverage my interdisciplinary background to help students excel in these areas. Whether refining their writing skills, mastering a new language, or exploring critical social issues, my goal is to guide students in achieving their academic and personal aspirations.

In my free time, I enjoy immersing myself in novels and theoretical works, as reading fuels both my curiosity and creativity. Writing is another passion of mine, allowing me to express ideas and reflect deeply. On the lighter side, I love singing karaoke, hiking, or spending time at the beach, where I can relax and recharge my mind amidst nature's beauty.
