...Spanish, but my favorites are English, History, and organizational skills. In my observations, I have always found that giving students proper organizing skills as their foundation for success allows them to reach their full academic potential. I enjoy nothing more than witnessing the students I work with master and apply skills that they once found impossible. In my spare time I love to read, watch films, and keeping up with the latest sports news.

...I am here to assist and encourage in any way possible.

I...

...done and I would love to continue doing it in the future! Outside of tutoring, I dance Bharatnatyam, sing in a choir, play violin, and read books. My interests vary with the seasons, but the two loves of my life are Biology and English. Science has always been my passion, and as such I work in two biology labs at UC Berkeley and volunteer for UCSF and the Hospice at Sutter Care at Home. While...

...instructor with years of experience working with diverse international populations, I believe that our differences, whether they be cultural, cognitive, behavioral, linguistic, or simply in terms of our interests, deserve to be honored throughout all of our educational journeys. Our backgrounds, as much as our prospective futures, shape who we are and what we need. I believe in teaching practices that not only evolve depending on student needs, but also truly, deeply respect the whole...

Through this I hope to find a position that allows me to educate future generations and teach them the importance of equality and prosperity for all.

...patient, detail-oriented tutor, I'm your best choice :) Education is a gift that mostly goes unrecognized. People are praised for their talent and intelligence, but rarely is the opportunity to learn mentioned when people reach success.
