Experience Summary
I believe that every child can achieve academic excellent if given the right tools. I have such tools to help students achieve this success. I have a strong academic background in the sciences and math. I graduated from MIT with a BS in Chemistry and Spanish Literature and Culture. I also have extensive years in mentoring students and coworkers in quantitative (Math, Statistics) and qualitative (English, Sociology) work as I have worked as a Research Associate and Project Facilitator at RAND, UCLA, and Harvard. I have facilitated nutritional classes with middle school students for the past years. Beyond this I have a strong background in writing both in English and Spanish (published manuscripts).
Teaching Style
I love teaching and mentoring students. I think students learn their best when they are given a nurturing environment that allows them to think creatively and openly. I foster this environment when I mentor and tutor kids by understandings each student’s needs. The best way to make students learn is by understanding what they need help learning (assessments). Once I understand their needs and with my patience, academic skills, and easy going nature, I try to teach them the skills they need. These skills are developed by making them think critically.
