Hello, My name is Aiko and I have two major passions; education and music. Coming from a background of educators, I understand the necessity of teaching and tutoring. Seeing the position of where the value of education has been placed on the spectrum, it is imperative for us to communally bring the joy of education back to the forefront. And I believe here at Varsity Tutors is the best way to bridge that gap.

I believe that every child has the ability to learn a concept if their teacher teaches in a way that suits the child.I have a Masters in Education in Teaching from California Baptist University. I have 12 years of teaching experience, including 3 years teaching overseas. I have taught KG, 2nd and 4th grades full time. I have also taught 7th Grade Science and Social Studies. Prior to being credentialed, I worked as a substitute teacher for 4 years while going to school.I come from a family of educators, and it is my passion to work with kids. I have a son with autism, so I am well versed in educating students with diverse needs.I served 9 years in the Navy and I am a proud veteran. I have a 14-year-old son. In my free time, I enjoy doing Tough Mudder events and endurance running.

My main goal in life is to make a difference in the lives of others and I believe that I can achieve this through tutoring. I enjoy working with students at all levels because I enjoy the challenge and love to help others grow no matter where their starting point may be. I have a strong background in English and Communication Arts and I desire to use my skills to create multiple ways for my students to learn material in an interesting manner. Overall, I want to inspire others to be the best person that they can be and to teach my students that they truly can achieve anything with hard work and dedication.I received my Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on Communication Studies and Writing, from Cal State University, Northridge. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Youth Theatre at San Diego State University. I have experience working with students in grades K-college. I have worked as a Youth Arts Program Director, where I have taught creative writing, performing arts, and public speaking classes. I have also served as a teacher for Teach for America in Las Vegas, where I taught Reading, Writing, and Drama to middle school students.I have four years of tutoring experience in Reading, Writing, Public Speaking, and Performing Arts. I believe that communication is a crucial part of our lives and desire to teach my students how to best utilize this skill to be successful in life. I want to share my passion for learning with my students by catering to their individual learning needs and interests, which will optimize their success.My favorite subject to tutor is Writing because I enjoy teaching my students how to showcase their own voice. In writing you have the freedom to show your own personal style while talking about any topic, which can be a powerful tool for self-expression. Writing is a way for the author to be heard and I enjoy helping my students learn how to adequately get their own voice heard by the rest of the world.In my free time I enjoy hiking, photography, and spending time with my dog. I love exploring new places and have an interest in travel. I like to watch comedy movies and enjoy music of all kinds.

I am a graduate of The University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literary & Media Studies with a focus on writing and reading. I was born in Sweden but grew up in England as a British Citizen and moved to Las Vegas in 2010 as a military wife. I was a journalist and writer for 12 years. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, tutoring children in Romania, at the English for Asia Centre in Macau, China, and adults in Japan looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor). While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Reading, Writing, Phonics in Early Learning and Early Learning Science. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, spending time with my 6 year old and writing articles for international websites.

I attended Eastern Michigan for both a BA and MA in literature. Additionally, I worked through half of a counseling degree before I accepted a job in New Mexico. I began my career working with students and continued for my entire professional life, almost twenty years. Not only have I interacted with students in the classroom as an instructor but also outside the classroom as a tutor/counselor/adviser. For example, I have developed, implemented and coordinated a variety of student academic and development programs. More specifically, I can assist students with just about any type of writing assignment: from development of ideas to organization to editing. Further, I can assist with literary analysis and interpretation. Study skills, organization, in-class essays, test-taking are important skills students should develop to be successful, and I can assist in those areas. For many people, public speaking and delivering a presentation causes anxiety and fear, but with a few helpful steps, it does not have to do so. One reason is that my approach to tutoring focuses on helping develop the skills necessary to be successful. Some need just a little guidance while others require a bit more structure. So there is a lot of discussion about the assignment, its goals and objectives and creating a process that addresses those areas. When I am not teaching, I like to hike throughout Red Rock and write film and Walking Dead reviews. I also have a strong passion for animal rights and am an excellent source for various perspectives on that topic from health to environment to morality. My dog’s name is Parlay, and besides licking my face too often, she’s great.

I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Science of teaching English as a second language at the Babes Bolyai University in Cluj Napoca, Romania. I have an ESOL teacher certification from the state of Florida and also over five years experience of teaching and tutoring in US and Europe. I tutor ESOL all levels, Romanian all levels and French for beginners. I love working with kids and adults as well. Teaching is my passion. I love dancing, reading, playing tennis, and ice skating. I like to take my dog for walks and enjoy the sun and the cool Las Vegas weather.

I am a graduate of Westmont College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a focus on computer science and advanced studies in statistics. I became the Teaching Assistant for Behavioral Statistics after earning the only A grade in a class of 60 students. This is where I learned the pleasure of asking intermediate questions, the answers to which would bring the student to the place of competence for the problem at hand. I never considered teaching until years later a friend remarked, "You should consider teaching. I have all the training, but you have all the gifts." I believe in my students. They have beautiful minds and that their priceless presence cannot be overvalued. I have been a preferred substitute teacher with the Clark County School District. Two schools in particular knew they could place me in any class and I could do whatever the teacher had laid out for me no matter who their students were. I have tutored middle and high school mathematics as well as statistics including a PhD candidate and other college students.

I am a student at the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science and Criminal Justice. I have a strong background in math and science. I have taken and mastered up to Calculus 2, as well as multiple upper level biology and chemistry courses at the university level.
