I have an Associates of Science from College of the Redwoods and a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Biology from Humboldt State University. On May 25, 2014, I graduated with a Masters in Environmental Policy and Management with an emphasis in Global Environmental Management from the American Public University. I have worked for the United States Forest Service for the last 5 years. During my employment with the USFS, I have surveyed small mammals, birds, carnivores, invertebrates, and vegetation species. I have also been a part of projects that studied California red-legged frogs, western pond turtles and stream dwelling salamander species. I am passionate about biology and environmental sciences. My tutoring experience includes middle school, high school and college students. In my experience, discussing life science has always been the most interesting for me and my students. My tutoring style alters to cater to my student's needs. I like to get to know my students and see what style works the best for that individual. My goal is to help my students succeed. I believe that it is my responsible to show my students how to solve problems on their own; my mission is to provide the tools needed to find an appropriate solution. In my spare time I like to be outdoors as much as possible. I enjoy animals, playing volleyball and watching baseball.

I received my master's degree in English, with an emphasis in Teaching Writing and a minor in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language), from Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. Since completing my degree in 1997, I have taught English Composition, Developmental Writing, and Reading Comprehension for both native and non-native English speakers at various community colleges in California, Illinois and Washington. I also have extensive experience working with Japanese students as I spent four years living and teaching English in Japan. Through the JET Program, I taught high school students for two years. I also worked as an Assistant Language Teacher from 2010 to 2011, teaching English to elementary and junior high school students (5th through 9th grades). Additionally, I operated my own English conversation school, in which I taught small group and private lessons for children and adults. For the last 6 years, I've been teaching at Shoreline Community College where I've taught English for academic purposes for international students, as well as ESL courses (all skills: reading, writing, grammar, listening/speaking) for students of all levels, from beginner to advanced. I have almost 15 years of experience teaching in college classrooms, as well as in smaller, private conversation schools and one on one tutoring. My specialty is in teaching writing, especially coherence, organization and development of ideas in an essay. My classes, whether face to face or online, have always been places where students can improve their skills in writing, reading and critical thinking through learner centered as well as collaborative methods. Often, I feel that my strength lies in establishing meaningful relationships with students that has helped many become more confident communicators and helped them on their college and career pathways. This year, I completed two certificates online: TESOL and Teaching ESL online. I have also been tutoring elementary and junior high school students in Language Arts, Social Studies and Science. I really enjoy tutoring, because it gives me the chance to work with students of all ages and backgrounds individually, to help them to reach their language goals and to become more confident in their studies. It's my goal to help students overcome their fears, and to become excellent communicators in English as well as confident writers.

It is my goal to see my students succeed in every academic endeavor they undertake. I have been a student for a long time, and have encountered many different styles of teaching and tutoring along the way. Many different approaches are available to me, and I find that many different approaches are often necessary to address the learning issues of different, individual students. Each student learns in a different way, and reacts to the information presented in a certain style. It is my goal to help each student in a way that is the most appropriate to that individual. I approach the instruction of each new student with patience and focussed attention. I am committed to my students' educational growth and success. I look forward to working with you!

Enabling children to grasp the foundational knowledge and skills that they will use for the rest of their lives is a wonderful gift. Good education is, in my belief, the single most important thing we can impart to the younger generation. I am very motivated to equip young minds to learn more about the academic world, introducing them to mathematics, English and other subjects such as the physical sciences, arts, and history.

I have been involved in education for over 15 years, first in outdoor education in California, teaching science through hands-on experiences like snorkeling, kayaking and hiking. In addition, I had the chance to travel as an international expedition guide in Central American and Africa with high school students, with a focus on history, anthropology, writing, and sociology. Five years ago I became a middle school classroom teacher in San Francisco, CA, specializing in English and history. I spent the last two years teaching overseas in Lisbon, Portugal, working with diverse students from around the world.My teaching credentials in both elementary education, and secondary English and Social Sciences, coupled with my enthusiasm and dedication for working with young people, make me a very understanding, flexible and reliable tutor. I enjoy getting to know my students interests, their strengths, and the things that are a challenge. I understand that not all students learn the same way, and I emphasize this in my teaching. Learning is amazing, difficult, and a rewarding adventure. I hope I can help you on your path to new understanding, and appreciation for your own successes.

I am passionate about education and enjoy supporting others in their pursuits to learn new knowledge and skill sets. I have an Associate of Arts degree in Communications, a minor in Spanish Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Studies with a focus on culture, politics and economics in Latin America and the Caribbean. I earned my education at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt. My course of studies was inspired by my love for travel. I have always been eager to discover new ways to improve my interpersonal and intercultural communication skills, enhance my understanding of international issues, and, depending on the country and region, fine-tune my Spanish language skills. For example, while studying abroad in Spain, I interned at an organization that provided social and educational support to single parent and immigrant families. Most recently, I worked as a Sustainable Tourism Coordinator in rural Peru at a non-profit whose mission is to uplift indigenous artisans by both creating opportunities and connecting them to opportunities for economic advancement. For over six years, regardless of my location or professional and educational pursuits, I have always engaged in some form of teaching. I have experience in teaching Spanish, English, dance, yoga, and life skills to individuals of various ages and backgrounds and I am happy to continue doing so via Varsity Tutors. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, discovering new podcasts and music, and participating in cultural events.
