About Me

I'm a 29 year old graduate student at SDSU, working on my teaching credential. I'm originally from Bakersfield but moved to San Diego a year ago. I would love to travel the world and teach English in a foreign country.

I tutored for one school year at monroe">Monroe Clark Middle School through the Pathways organization at San Diego State University. At monroe">Monroe Clark I tutored seventh graders in AVID and Social Studies. A similar experience I had also involved coaching basketball and flag football at an elementary school in Bakersfield for six years.

The first thing needed to do to become a successful tutor is to figure out exactly what the student struggles with and why. After figuring out what he or she struggles with, then a strategy is needed. When I tutor, I believe it's important to try to point the student in the right direction and teach them new techniques before giving them the answers. Students don't learn if they're just fed the answers and don't learn the proper techniques.
