It was a challenging experience because of the size of the classes assigned to each volunteer tutor.

Subsequently, I tutored other college students in French until my graduation in 2008. I returned to tutoring French for one...

...was so proud to see them raise their grades to a 'B' in the course and feel confident in a subject they were struggling in.

Although I teach a broad...

...and attention you need in class, especially with writing. It took me a while, but once I learned the beauty of writing, it became much easier to do. That is why I teach through appreciation; the more you learn to appreciate and have an understanding of the beauty of English and writing, the better you get at it. I am also fluent in Spanish and half Argentinian, so I can assist with spanish language and...
