...where they come from or where they are on life's journey. My call as a critical justice diversity educator and researcher is to make sure that what happens in the schools, in the workplace, in the policy manuals, and the courtrooms reflects a student-centered methodological stance that engenders inclusivity and reaches all learners where they are. Creativity and innovation drive me, kindness guides me, love empowers me. Take me to your greatest need, and I...

...have the proper mindset to resolve any academic obstacles through origination, trial & error, evaluation, audit, research, practice, and persistence. In addition coaching, particularly with (however not restricted to) more youthful students is mainly about tutoring and giving them not only the answers but rather the capacity and the motivation to find the solutions all by themselves! While this may not be the initial first plan of action, it is essential for the student to...

...students of all ages and learning styles, both in person and online. While I tutor a variety of subjects, math is my specialtyfrom Algebra 1 & 2 to Trigonometry and Geometry. I also support students in English and Living Environment/Biology. I'm a firm believer that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to learning.

It requires the teacher/tutor to show the student how...

Let's have fun together and the learning will come, I promise!

...always provide guidance that aid in understanding. Each of us has a different way of absorbing new ideas and frameworks, and to be aware of those critical differences in learning styles is tantamount to your success. In some rigorous coursework, it can be so tempting to give up and settle for a grade that does not reflect your true potential. However, with the right attitude and patience, you will be on the fast track to...

...students in the fun and challenge of learning a language. I have lived in Spain, France, and Chile, as well as various parts of the United States, so I bring cultural insight into each lesson. My additional teaching areas of expertise include test prep, reading comprehension and essay writing, and government.

...I volunteer with the Red Cross where I am a part of the PillowCase seminars where I go into middle school classes and stress the importance of fire safety. I also volunteer with Peer Health Exchange, an organization that delivers 9th graders health seminars to those that may not receive health class in high school. Lastly, I volunteered at Rockefeller University Science OutReach Lab where I instruct middle/high school students basic science laboratory techniques and...

Learning can be difficult and not everyone is accustomed to learning in the same ways, so I want to make sure all students can feel vulnerable enough to ask questions and feel free to grow as independent thinkers. I have volunteered in a school setting multiple times, and I love working with children. I am strongly passionate when...
