My daughter who is almost three, is my newest student. I...

...minds set on being the first people they knew to go to university, ideally in the United States. We worked together over the next several months- perfecting their English, learning the SAT, and crafting their application essays- and that summer they both received acceptance letters and scholarships to schools in the US.

I recently moved to Portland with my husband and am hoping to return to teaching once the pandemic is over next year. In the meantime, I want to continue working with students in my community, doing what I love best: teaching!

...I am passionate and committed to lifelong learning, and enjoy helping others along the same journey. I know each student comes to tutoring with their own goals and learning styles. My sessions are strengths-based and person-centered. This means I do not talk while the student passively listens; instead, we work as a team to identify what strategies work best and individualize a plan that works specifically for them. My specialties are: writing, language, English, essay...

...school to graduate with the full IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma. Similarly, I've met almost all of my majors' requirements because I've taken the maximum number of credits every semester at Pacific, excluding my first one.

...same way or day. I understand and have experienced that feeling of frustration and confusion while learning due to a "cookie-cut tutor". Therefore, after all these years of tutoring, I highly value the differences (race, gender, ethnicity, learning styles/speeds) between my students. The essence of my tutoring principles are built on what I hold to be irreplaceable in the process of learning: ethics and morals. While many tutors accept jobs because of money, I tutor...

...my dreams of playing college basketball; consequently, I shifted my focus from basketball to getting into some of the top institutions in the country. This is something my parents, who are both immigrants with PHD's, always wanted for me and thus, I spent the rest of the summer after my surgery self-studying for the SAT and ultimately improved my score by 200 points (scoring in the 99th percentile for Math). I also succeeded at getting...

...as a kindergarten and pre-K teacher. In my opinion, a good tutor needs not only to be knowledgeable, but sensitive to the ways that every student learns differently. I am prepared to work with my students, at their own pace, to ensure that they aren't just completing the work, but fully understanding and internalizing the material. Other than tutoring, I enjoy going to school (I'm about to get my bachelors in history from Reed college),...

I also spent the last three years working as a teaching assistant in the History department at the University of Colorado...

...supported to do for themselves what they did not know they could do. I have now tutored and taught in a variety of settings for three years; each experience has pushed me to be an educator who guides others to answers rather than providing the answers.
