Hi, my name is Alessandra. I was born and raised in Brazil. When I was 10 years old my family moved to Baltimore, Maryland where we remained for eight years. I went to Elementary, Middle and High School in Baltimore. Once I graduated from High School I returned to Brazil to pursue my B.A. in Education. I've been a teacher for over 12 years. I have taught Preschool, primary grade levels and adults both in English and in Portuguese. Although I don't have a lot of experience tutoring, as an experienced teacher I consider myself a competent tutor automatically and look forward to sharing my knowledge with others. I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.
