...working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more...

...in the Philadelphia area. I love the theatre, and it has taught me an enormous amount about interacting with people and the world in which we live. Time and again I have been enlightened to the power of collaborating with my fellow artists, and the amazing, inventive magic this can produce.

Because of this, I continued to tutor throughout my four years of college, mostly tutoring peer college students through a program at my school, Eastern University. I also tutored students in Philadelphia at Eastern’s sister school, Esperanza College. After graduating from Eastern with Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Spanish and Political Science, I continued my experience as an educator by living in Guatemala teaching and tutoring Guatemalan students in...

...to be an educator. As a high school student participating in the school service program, I helped an elementary student with improving his reading skills. These early experiences, watching the excitement of others as they learned something new, solidified my decision to become a teacher.

This has allowed me to familiarize myself with curriculum content and expectations in a range of grades. Since moving to the PA/NJ area, I am working as an itinerant teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing from grades 1 up...

...Middle School English Language Arts. I love helping students get to that "light bulb" moment. I believe that it is important to get to know each student in order to motivate them to succeed. Providing students with examples that make sense to them and apply to their lives is so important and necessary for success. I've been passionate about helping students for as long as I can remember. I always wanted to play school with...

...linguistics. While languages and language itself are my first love, I enjoy working in a variety of other subjects as well.

I look forward to helping students work towards reaching their full potential. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
