Experience
~Over 4 years of experience as an educator ~Over 3 years of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students, including students with special needs ~1 year of experience tutoring university exchange students who speak English as a foreign language My passion for tutoring is fueled by a desire to utilize my creativity, problem-solving skills, and intuition to connect with and help students from various cultural backgrounds. I especially thrive when working with students who learn differently, compared to their average peer. I'm skilled at guiding students to find new ways of learning that are not only more effective for them but also help them discover more meaning and enjoyment in learning.
