I graduated early in order to devote my extra time to studying for the GRE so I can obtain my Master of Science degree in Family and Marital counseling. Throughout my high school and collegiate career, I have worked with children and young adults of all ages. I have instructed small pull-out groups of students requiring additional academic support and mentored 25 “at risk” middle school youth through various character building activities. I have also implemented a system for children with social-emotional behavior issues to identify emotions and self-correct detrimental behaviors as well as supported individual student academic and personal needs. While in Costa Rica, I worked at Escuela Cubujuqui; I conducted interactive English learning activities for kindergarten and first grade students and strategized ways to increase student academic performance with lead teachers. I tutor: Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, English, Essay Editing, Grammar and Mechanics, Reading/ Reading Comprehension, Spanish 1, and Spanish 2. Although I enjoy tutoring all of these subjects, the subjects that I enjoy teaching the most are Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Reading/ Reading Comprehension, and Spanish. I enjoy helping with Math because I get gratification from seeing someone feel a sense of accomplishment after tackling a hard problem or concept. Helping individuals learn how to effectively read and comprehend material is a passion of mine because as a child it would take me hours to read a book and understand the concepts. I now have the tools and resources to help others with this struggle and feel a need to show them how to overcome this problem. I have a very adaptive teaching style which I feel is the key to ensuring that each of my clients get exactly what they need from our tutoring sessions. I believe that every person is different and every person needs to be approached in a unique manner whether it’s visually, auditorily, or kinesthetically. When I am not tutoring and get a little time to myself, I love to hike, cook, play basketball, and watch movies with my friends and family.
