Willamette University - Bachelors, English
Experience
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English from Willamette University. I developed an appreciation for education by working with an amazing network of administrators, professors, and students from various private and public institutions. I believe that every student has the ability to learn if they are given the opportunity and attention they need to succeed. Every student is unique, and as such, it is imperative to find ways to help students on an individual level. In terms of tutoring, I am comfortable teaching students conversational Spanish, comparative literature, college English, languages, Spanish, English grammar and syntax, literature, writing, and reading. I am also available to help students edit essays. I enjoy tutoring because it provides me with an opportunity to give back to the community that has helped me so much in terms of pursuing an enlightening and meaningful life. I have numerous hobbies, such as reading the New Yorker, attending film festivals, folk music, hip-hop music, skiing, backpacking, hiking, rock climbing, writing poetry and fiction, and reading. As I enjoy talking about film, music, books, Spanish, and English in my spare time, it only makes sense for me to share my love of these subjects by teaching them to others.
