Once I successfully taught 3 years of Jr High math to a student who barely spoke English within one summer, I felt ready to take on any challenge! Overall though, I have found that the most important job as a tutor is...

...have two years of experience working in formal education including day-to-day substituting in Brookline and long-term class coverage in Boston, as well as experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding.

In working with students at the elementary level, I have also had the opportunity to explore Common Core expectations in ELA and Mathematics.

My favorite subjects to tutor are English and Spanish, because I love helping people to express themselves.

...I entered East High School in Paterson, NJ as a sophomore in the bilingual program. However, by the time I was a senior, I decided to remove myself from the ESL classes in order to be exposed more to the English language in a regular classroom.
