About Me

During our first session I always go over goals, objectives and ask questions to get to know your learning style in order for you to learn effectively. I have worked with students from kindergarten up to 12th grade. Typically, the subjects I cover include Phonics, Reading Comprehension, English, SAT prep (reading and writing), 9th grade Biology, History, elementary math, elementary education, and ELL.Currently, I will obtain my Residency Teaching Certificate in about 6 weeks. During the 2019-2020 school year I had the privilege to be a kindergarten teacher in a bilingual private school. Before that I have tutored various grade levels for more than 10 years. My favorite part was getting to know and learn from so many different types of students. I strongly believe in an equity built learning environment. This also means I understand that every student has individual learning needs and students learn best in different ways. When referring to Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory, there are 8 different types: bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic-verbal, musical, and naturalistic. Basically, I tailor the teaching to your specific request and needs. I am here to help you succeed! If you have more questions, feel free to reach out. More about my background:When I'm not teaching I like to spend time with my family and 6 year old! When it's nice out we try to play soccer. Plus, I try to stay healthy by alternating between yoga and jogging.

Q&A with Valentina

Every student is unique and has their own way of learning, so it is important to always ask questions, observe and alter the teaching style to fit each student's understanding of the material.
