About Me

I have 13 years of teaching experience in various roles. I started as sub for the local school district where I lived after graduating with my bachelor's in political science with a minor in Criminal Justice from University of Texas Brownsville. I tutored students online in English and essay writing while working on my Masters in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire. After graduating, I taught English online to kids, teenagers, and adults from China. We worked on everything from phonics, to learning how to write sentences and paragraphs and conversational skills. While doing this, I decided to go back to school for my second masters. I completed my masters in English as Second language from University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Fall 2020. While working on my masters, I was a teaching assistant for the writing department. I taught first year writing courses to students entering college. I love teaching because as someone who struggled as child due to dyslexia, it was the teachers who supported me that helped me to overcome my learning challenges. I also feel that anyone can learn a subject even if they struggle. They just need to learn how they learn best and to remember that it is a process. That mistakes may be made along the way, but you can get better. Currently, I am working on my PhD in leadership studies because someday I would like to open up a non-profit to help young kids who are struggling with tough issues. One thing I always tell people is that I will forever be a student-teacher because I learn something new from each student or group of students I work with. My favorite subject to tutoring is the writing process because I believe that whatever field you choose to go into, you must learn how to write to be able to communicate with others. I currently tutor English and the writing process for all age groups and grade levels.
