As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, specializing in Ethnic Studies from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in subjects such as Conversational Mandarin, Spanish, and Creative Writing. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, helping them build confidence and achieve their goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring different cultures through travel and languages, which enriches my teaching and allows me to connect with students on a personal level.
