Fun Facts

A few fun facts of which I am proud to announce would be my love for classical music (i was in the advanced orchestra for all years of high school playing the cello), baking (my dream is to open a small cheesecake shop in the future ), and teaching. Being in a family of 7 where all my younger siblings were home-schooled with the help of my mom and I provided me with a love for kids

About Me

Currently, I am a sophomore student at portland-state-university">Portland State University majoring in Biology. Upon graduating, my interest lies in attaining a Physicians Assistant degree and commence employment at a pediatrics clinic. Coming from a large family instilled an eagerness to work with children in whichever way possible. My dream is to be a tool for positive impact towards children's lives.

Officially, I have served as a spanish portland">tutor for a length of 3 months with adults, which proved to be a worth while experience for myself (I was able to strengthen my teaching skills). However, the most valuable portland">tutoring experience that I've had was with my siblings. Ranging from 3 to 12 years old, I learned that each child and age group requires a technique for teaching. In addition, my patience, encouragement, and sympathy towards children is well established due to the experience I was blessed with at home. The subjects I aided in were religion, math, science, language arts, and history (english and history being my favorite of them all).

The portland">tutoring approach I’ve applied to my pupils is centered around four main principles; respect, devotion, hard work, and enjoyment. For children to maintain focus, I believe it is important to show patience and kindness to the fullest extent. Since the goal of portland">tutoring is to address a child’s struggles, it is crucial to make the child feel comfortable with the learning environment. Though comfort is critical, however, too much comfort can become hazardous in a portland">tutor and pupil relationship. At this point, it is important to enforce respect and a sense of devotion. By maintaining checkpoints and standards, the child maintains knowledge of what is expected of them.
