Experience
I am passionate about helping students learn in a fun and engaging way. I have been teaching for over 6 years in a variety of subject areas, and have developed methods for making studying more effective and fun! It's so important for me to connect with the student on a personal level, and to understand their learning style so we can create a study plan that will work for them! I'm all about making the learning process creative and individual to each student. :) In the tutoring relationship, I love to create cameraderie as well as mutual respect and appreciation. It's important to set clear deadlines and structure for our work together, while creating a safe space for communication and voicing any questions or concerns that come up! Overall, I seek to create a fun, safe environment for the student to learn, and hopefully a great connection and learning strategies that will help boost the student to success in this subject area, and in their future studies to come! Here are some of my relevant past positions and experiences: SAT Tutor for the Princeton Review Tutor for C2 Education English teacher for 4 years in Prague, Italy and Thailand Online tutor Life and Health Coach Yoga teacher (certified in Rishikesh, India)
