Experience
I was raised by an educator, so becoming a teacher myself was always the plan. I had a natural love of learning as I grew up, but English and history were two of my best subjects. At Cornell University, I studied Industrial and Labor Relations with minors in Latin American Studies, Business, Law and Society, and International Relations. I got my start in tutoring with a private organization, where I was able to teach young learners. My goal now is to provide my students with as much knowledge as possible and ensure that their educational experience is a rewarding one. In particular, I want to offer guidance to pupils who have a hard time solving math problems. I enthusiastically help students improve their writing and public speaking skills, as well as their knowledge of literature. I'm at the service of those who want to learn arithmetic, phonics, essay editing, economics, geometry, Spanish, and geography. I can also provide assistance to learners who need to get ready for academic examinations such as the PSAT, SAT, HSPT Quantitative, ISEE, PSAT Writing Skills, and HSPT Reading. In my spare time, I like working out at the gym, traveling the globe, and reading interesting books.
