...create a comprehensive and well-rounded approach to practicing Spanish. I received a bachelor's in Global/Public Health and two minors in Spanish and Translation from American University in 2024. I have tutored numerous subjects since I was in high school including drums, Spanish, statistics and writing skills. I enjoy tutoring Spanish because I am not a native speaker, so I know what it's like to start from scratch when learning a language. Learning Spanish requires you...

I think these problem-solving skills are important in building confidence and can be applied in other areas. (I once...

...or sudoku, and more complex ones. To me, all learning is like solving a puzzle. Unpacking each word in a Yeats poem is like gathering jigsaw pieces, and constructing a thesis for an essay is like putting them together.

...fundamental goal of teaching is to foster learning. Learning takes place in many different circumstances and contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively mastering new concepts and skills. Humans have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are motivated by discussion, and others absorb best when they read and reflect on what they have read. The classroom setting can encourage or...
