Private tutor in Arlington, MA
Education
Columbia University in the City of New York - Bachelors, Political Science; Spanish/Latin American Studies
Experience
I graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in political science and in Latin American studies. I've always loved Spanish language and culture, and my degree program gave me the opportunity to learn Spanish while gaining insight into the political climate and cultural customs of South and Central America. I've always enjoyed studying social sciences, especially those which involve politics, and have a wealth of experience tutoring students in these disciplines. I've been working as an educator in some form since I was in high school, where I taught English as a Second Language. I believe that the best way to help a person succeed in the classroom is to establish rapport and create a comfortable learning environment where students can practice their coursework without feeling self-conscious. In addition to tutoring English and Spanish, I also have experience working as a homework tutor and have helped a number of students in grade school and college with subjects like writing, biology, and mathematics, as well as provided students with help when it came time to register for scholarships or apply to colleges. I love education and empowering others, and when I'm not working in the classroom, I like to spend my time playing basketball, soccer, or lacrosse.
