English and Writing Tutor (study coach) 
Wagner College

Fun Facts

I love to read but I also love to surf, rock climb, and skateboard. I had a somewhat nomadic childhood and have lived on three different continents, and been to over 20 countries. My passion is learning over languages and after I graduate I hope to teach English as a Second Language.

About Me

I am a junior English major at Wagner College in NYC. I am also pursuing minors in Spanish, Art and Education. I have consistently been on the Dean's List, earning a 4.0 this past semester. Post grad I hope to continue my education at Wagner in order to earn my Masters in Education. My ultimate goal is to be a full time ESL tutor abroad in Spain and other Spanish or Portuguese speaking countries.

Experience

In addition to taking a Writing Intensive Tutoring course at my university this past semester, preparing me as a professional tutor, I have also spent many hours officially and unofficially tutoring my peers in both high school and college. I was also a teacher aid at PS 20 in Staten Island and have gleaned much from my hands-on experience in the classroom. I have volunteered as an ESL tutor in Haiti and Brazil.

Approach

Being dyslexic, I found school very difficult and frustrating when I was young. I was under the impression that because I learned at a slower pace and couldn't read well, that I was unintelligent; however, when I was 10 I was introduced to the Harry Potter books and fell in love with reading, and soon after, with writing as well. I understand and empathize with students who struggle academicly and hope to encourage these students and let them know that they are both capable and intelligent.
