Experience
One of my biggest beliefs is that in order to teach well, you must be an excellent student. My love of teaching began when I started tutoring junior high students at church during my senior school years. One thing this experience has shown me is that learning is effective when there is a two way street between pupils and teachers. I enjoy hearing feedback from learners because then I know how they are doing and we can set a goal to work on. I am originally from Tennessee, from a northwestern town named Troy. I took two majors, one in Spanish and one in Communications. My life experience includes living in places such as Paraguay, Honduras, as well as taking numerous vacations to Mexico. I speak Spanish and can teach the culture and the language. As far as tutoring experience, I have been a tutor for many junior and senior high schools in Nashville. I tutored ESL, English, Spanish, and math. I have also worked for the radio station and the newspaper and I am very passionate about news, writing, and grammar. I firmly believe as long as you can articulate well and write well, people will understand you. In addition to language and grammar, I also love history. I love Latin American history, world history, as well as American History. When I have spare time, I enjoy kayaking, biking, and trying new adventurous ideas. I would love to get to know you and help you reach your academic goals.
