Experience Summary
As a high school student, I tutored my peers in French, drawing on my life-long use of the language to help others understand the intricacies of conjugation and word order. Now, as a college student, I am continuing my study of French to coordinate the dialect I learned at home with the formal use of the language.
My tutoring experience in reading includes work with students at Mountain View Elementary School in Concord. There, I met with students who were struggling with reading at their grade level and helped them with pronunciation and comprehension.
As a health educator, I am well-versed in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and pathology.
Teaching Style
I prefer to teach not through rote memorization or lengthy lectures, but through participatory experiences. Following the theory that some people are audio learners, some are visual learners, and some are kinesthetic (doing) learners, I like to convey information to students through several media so they have a chance to absorb the lesson in whichever way best suits them. I also find that young children especially can learn a lot through games, and thus I have always been an advocate of educational puzzles, card games, etc.
