About Me

I graduated from BYU with a degree in civil engineering. I have always liked working with and helping others achieve a greater understanding of their subject material. I tutor people in math and Spanish. I learned Spanish both in the classroom and in Mexico; I lived there for two years when I was younger, and I also completed an engineering study abroad in Zacatecas my last semester in college. I prefer to use the materials that the student is using during tutoring sessions because they will have the same resources available to them when I am not with them. When teaching math, I like to have the student do example problems so that I can see what concepts are giving them trouble and help them specifically with those problem areas. When teaching Spanish, I like to speak in Spanish with them as much as possible. There will be times where English will be used to help explain concepts and rules, but the only way to learn the language is to speak it! As much as I was able to learn in the classroom, I found that my learning really accelerated once I was forced to speak it all the time in Mexico. While not at work, I enjoy spending time with my young family and playing sports. I played ultimate frisbee for BYU's club team while I was there, and I played basketball in high school.
