Spanish/French Language And Culture Tutor

I am a charismatic, creative and well-spoken professional that focuses on holistic development of each student in the subject they are learning. I truly take the time to get to know my students in order to cater the learning process to their specific needs and interests and make it enjoyable for them.

I strongly promote a personalized education and try to make materials as tangible and relatable as possible for each student so that it the standardized materials become easier to process and so that success is more rewarding.

Having worked as a tutor, college counselor, TA and teacher in a variety of subjects to students of all ages and backgrounds, I am a well-rounded and have a strong set of transferable skills, insight and resources to share with my students. I graduated with highest honors from the University of Colorado and worked for the Resident Life and Leadership program for 3 years mentoring students and helping them achieve academic and social success. Studying anthropology gave me a unique awareness of the learning process and how humans digest information which I use masterfully in my classes.

I have since been certified in Peace and Conflict Studies, Religious Studies, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Child Welfare Policy (GAP Travel) and have earned awards for Achievement in Intercultural Education (CIEE) and Excellence in Leadership (GAP Travel).

I pride myself in my ability to mentor and help students set strong academic/career/personal goals, igniting their potential and forging pathways for future endeavors.

As a fierce advocate for equal and universal availability to any sort of education, I am a particularly passionate instructor of foreign languages and cultural-mentor, as these grants learners access to futures they might not have considered or been considered for prior. Being multilingual myself and given my experiences teaching languages and other topics I know I will be a key to opening this door—they key, however, is nothing without the hand(s) that turns it. I hope to make these prospects clear to those I would mentor while also seizing the chance to promote intercultural exchanges.

I am proactive, consistent and meticulous in my work, but I make sure to add a dash of humor in fun to everything that I do. Let's have some fun and learn!

I love sharing my passion for the subjects I teach (foreign languages, culture, anthropology, history, writing) and seeing that passion evolve in the students. It is so rewarding to me when students make meaningful connections to the subject and materials. My favorite moments are when students realize their immense potential to be successful in any subject they put their mind to.
