...old program "La Clase Magica", which integrated UCSD students with ethnically diverse, low income communities and youth all over San Diego county through an after school education curriculum. The principles of the program are that children can learn through nontraditional measures such as technology, play, and self-expression. All of the communities involved were bilingual communities such as the Spanish immersion program in South County and the Kumeyaay native people of East County. I tutored children...

...adventure camps. I led teenagers through ropes courses and on mountain biking excursions. It thrilled me to help girls overcome obstacles and confront fears. My time as an assistant basketball coach also satisfied my passion for working with adolescents. I coached a very diverse group of girls and took great pride in watching them overcome their differences and truly bond as a team. There is always something new to learn while working with youth and...

I enjoy tutoring because I like helping students become comfortable in even the most strenuous academic settings. In my tutoring sessions, I aim for a casual-yet-firm approach, and I'm most at ease tutoring students in high-level language arts, with a special focus on academic essay writing and general written communication skills.

I live near San Diego State University now, and have lived in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and...

...younger clients. Toward the summer, all of my students I was assigned eventually thanked me for helping them with their studies and giving them advice. It were moments like these that remind me how much I love doing this. Every day I tell myself to be the person I needed ten years ago, and I feel like I'm going in the right direction. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a BFA -...

...and math and, luckily, Bioengineering allows me to study everything from Cell Biology to Mechanics to Differential Equations. I regularly taught classical dance to a class of 15 young girls when I was in high school; breaking down dance steps for them really taught me how to deconstruct and convey ideas. I'm patient and logical and love to work with kids. Besides taking classes, I volunteer in a research lab and dance on a nationally...

...of the players needed assistance to pick up their grades to remain eligible for sports. Since then, I have tutored more formally. I was a teaching assistant at Point Loma Nazarene University for both the Psychology and Spanish Departments. This involved working with students one-on-one and reviewing past course work, quizzes, and tests. I was always willing to meet with students that needed extra help. I also frequently made study guides that were easy to...
