I enjoy helping students feel a sense of achievement that feeling that happens when, after struggling with and working through a challenging question together, the student "gets" it. Their eyes light up, they smile, laugh, put their arms up in a "v" and scream "yes!"... or simply says "yay" in subdued, Monty Python kind-of-way. I have an undergraduate degree in computer graphics and interactive media from Pratt Institute (2003) and a master degree in electronic art from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2015). My favorite subjects to tutor are highschool math, C#, and python for data science. I find comfort in the structured logic of math and programming. It gives me the illusion that our existance can be understood and measured at times when nothing makese sense and the world feels like it's falling apart.

I am a native Spanish speaker from Spain currently living in the USA. I have over seven years of experience tutoring children in both English and Spanish. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, teaching ESL and Spanish 1 to children are my favorite. I believe that learning a foreign language at a young age is imperative to the development of children's minds. In my spare time, I enjoy activities that will enrich my mind, such as reading, baking, and painting.

MS Trinity College Dublin • BA Pratt Institute-Main
2+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and Pratt Institute. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Writing and a Master of Philosophy in Gender and Women's Studies with a focus on intersectional feminist literature. For the past five years, I have worked significantly in online and print media and public relations, but my calling has always been teaching. I have worked with students on the art of reading, writing, and analyzing fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry, but I am eager to lend a hand to those who require support in several areas of the humanities. As a proponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion in education, I am constantly working towards the goal of making learning accessible (and fun!) for all. Our greatest passions can be found in the most unexpected places, and it might just be in your next homework assignment!

It would be my pleasure to share with students of any walks of life, what I have been fortunate to experience and learn.Born in Havana, Cuba, on the day the Fidel Castro drove into Centro Havana. I find it is our experiences and how we perceive them that builds our present place in the world.Education, was very important in my family, it expanded beyond books to Art, Music, Dance etc. They taught me to develop a keen sense of hearing, to look and be aware of what is said by studying human nature i.e. People's gazes, their stance, the speed of which the conversation flows or doesn't flow.I choose to see the narrative we have created.

Quite simply my passion is literature: I hold two degrees in creative writing (a B.F.A. and an M.A.) and write poetry, fiction, critical essays, and creative non-fiction. While completing my masters from 2012-2014, I tutored students at my university's writing center. It was there that I discovered another of my passions: helping students who are eager to learn. My profoundly meaningful experience as a tutor led me to join Varsity after graduation.I believe in the importance of writing correctly, expressively, and effectively. Being able to express oneself precisely is vital for students of all disciplines, and indeed for all people who are involved in the difficult process of navigating human relationships. Achieving this precision, however, easier said than done. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students express themselves with as much creativity and uninhibitedness as possible while also staying true to the constraints of the English language. I believe that I am able to do this by employing the conversational method of pedagogy: asking questions, prodding students to push themselves creatively and intellectually, and attending to the details of their written work. By submitting ourselves to this process, we not only improve the quality of the essay, we improve as writers, thinkers, and communicators.
