Fun Facts

I am a dog fanatic--I own an ESA boston terrier who spreads love wherever he goes! I have a lot of hobbies ranging from reading, writing, singing, dancing, traveling, video games, hiking, and ice skating. I studied abroad in Vigo, Spain this past summer and it was a life changing experience that gave me new, fresh perspectives on the world. I have many stories and life advice to share!

About Me

I am an English Education major at San Jose State University. I am a hardworking student and writer with a GPA of 3.8. My goal is to join the English Teaching Credential Program at San Jose State in order to become a high school English teacher. I am a Bay Area local and grew up in Gilroy, CA and am very familiar with Bay Area culture.

Experience

I received Dean's List all 4 years of high school and graduated in the top ten in my class with a 4.3 GPA. I worked as a lifeguard, babysitter, freelance tutor, and I also worked as an after school teacher for a nonprofit organization called Power School. I had my own classroom of students and conducted tutoring and taught advanced lesson plans. Frog Tutoring gives me the opportunity to live my passion by working closely with hard-working students.

Approach

I have always loved school and learning--nothing was ever enough. I enjoyed taking AP classes and community college courses in high school, and now in college, I have the opportunity to pursue my dream--teaching. I strongly believe in hard work ethic and positive reinforcement--every student works differently and come from different backgrounds, which are important factors to consider as a tutor and teacher. I teach with an open mind and heart, and I work hard to cultivate students' potential.

English Tutoring

I am an English Prep for Teaching Major with a 3.795 GPA in English classes (3.852 overall GPA). I took both AP English exams in high school and passed both of them. I received an A in every English class in high school, A's and B's in English classes from UC Davis, and all A's in English classes at SJSU. As an after school teacher, I helped many students with reading, writing, and understanding the English language.

Literature Tutoring

Ever since childhood, I have been fascinated with literature. I was the student in class who read her own books during free time. I love the challenge of reading complex classics, and what I love even more is showing students how fun and interesting literature can be, even the classics! At SJSU, I have received A's in all my literature courses, ranging from Old English, Shakespeare, Faulkner, Hemingway, Homer, and more!

Writing Tutoring

I have always had a passion for writing, whether it's academic or creative writing. I have taken poetry, fiction, and writing workshop classes at UC Davis and SJSU, receiving an A in each class. My goal is to help students improve their writing/essay skills, and I can also provide great advice on creative writing pieces.

Writing Advance Tutoring

I am an English prep for teaching major at SJSU and I have received A's in every writing class I have taken. I received an 11/12 on the WST (a writing skills test conducted by SJSU) and was offered a job interview by the writing center on campus. I declined only because I was a new student adjusting to a new campus, but my score proves my advanced writing capabilities. I am eager to help students become stronger writers and feel more comfortable with essay writing/structure.

AP English Tutoring

I am an English Prep for Teaching Major with a 3.795 GPA in English classes (3.852 overall GPA). I took both AP English exams in high school and passed both of them. I received an A in every English class in high school, A's and B's in English classes from UC Davis, and all A's in English classes at SJSU. As an after school teacher, I helped many students with reading, writing, and understanding the English language.
