Experience
My educational and life experiences have given me the skills and knowledge to be a supportive tutor. I have a master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, or TESOL. I have spent several years teaching students, as well as traveling around the world. I spent five years in the Caribbean, three in Europe, three in the Middle East, and Southeast Asia for one year. While traveling, I learned different approaches for different types of students. I tutor non-native and native English speakers. As a tutor, my role is to break concepts down into easily understood information while offering engaging lesson plans. I build each lesson around the individual student, factoring in their understanding, goals, and learning style. During my first meeting with a student, we simply get to know one another in terms of goals and expectations. From there, we work together to form a learning plan that improves their strengths and weaknesses. I tend to use real-life experiences to clarify concepts to my students. I can tutor students of all ages in phonics, Spanish, critical reading, and test prep. I can offer guidance in writing as well, as I am proficient in formal and informal writing. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, sports, and gardening.
