I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling.

...I am also a certified teacher for Pre-Kindergarten through siSixth Grade. Now I am a 4 year veteran teacher! I have been teaching in the elementary level for 4 years in an urban environment.

I am an effective tutor because I listen to students' needs and concerns, and I understand that learning is a process and that people have different learning styles, strengths, and interests. Tutoring is a blend of what you know, what you can articulate to the student, and what their needs are. I seek to fulfill all those aspects...
