...to devote my life to teaching a language. However, I have to start with tutoring. I really enjoy helping to motivate students in learning a language because of the understanding there is between cultures.

When tutoring, I strive to...

...fundamentals of a subject before trying to focus on specifics, especially in math and science. I try to have a very flexible teaching style, as I know not everybody learns in the same way, and I will always come prepared to teach a subject in multiple ways depending on the student's way of learning.
