Experience

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature from UC and my Master of Arts in International Communications from AU School of International Service. I have been teaching for about three years and have volunteered as a tutor for several years as well. I am passionate about communications because I know the new global economy will demand strong writing and communication skills for anyone to successfully compete. Some of the specific courses I tutor include grammar and mechanics, reading, writing, essay writing, essay editing, literature, public speaking, and English.I believe in order for a student to be successful the educational environment must be engaging and entertaining. Mistakes should not be looked upon as something to be avoided at all costs but as learning experiences. When students are struggling in a subject and become frustrated with their own mistakes it is imperative they be given the opportunity to correct the issue and shown how it will be beneficial to them later.When I'm not teaching I love to travel. I've been to more than a dozen countries and lived for a year in Italy. I also enjoy reading, hiking, biking, and listening to Afro-Latin music.
