I grew up in a family which stresses the importance of education; thus, it has become a passion of mine. I enjoy sharing my passion with others and helping them achieve their educational goals. As a a full time student I am quite busy, but I will try to be as flexible as possible - since I understand the importance of having the right kind of "help" in a student's life. I have a Bachelor's degree in both Global Studies and Spanish Language/Literature from the University of California, Sant... Read more

This included refining climate education, and helping kids learn at a nature-school station. Recently I’ve built some leadership s... Read more

Great with understanding students and helping them understand the work
I love helping people understand subject matter and walking through the learning process with them. I am also very patient and understanding.

I understand that everyone learns differently, and I believe caring and creative instruction can help anyone attain their learning goals. In my effort t... Read more
