About Me

Experience Summary

I have just finished law school. I grew up in Brazil as well as the United States which allowed me to become fluent in Portuguese as well as English without any accent. I enjoy computers and have learned many programs inside and out throughout my lifetime. Through college I took every computer class I could and even learned how to create a webpage using HTML formatting. I learned many skills as well to improve my chances of entering into Law School such as study skills and typing skills.

Teaching Style

I like to formulate individual teaching styles based on my students. Not everyone learns the same and therefore I do not teach the same to each student. Sometimes students require my constant attention and encouragement. Other times taking a step back and explaining everything in depth and watching the student work is the best approach. No two students are alike therefore my teaching style is different for each student.

My Hobbies

I enjoy water sports so in the summer one can find me on the lake wakeboarding and water-skiing. And every chance I get I enjoy taking trips to the ocean to surf and scuba dive.

Subject Commentary

Chess Proficiency: Experienced
I was taught chess at age four and have been playing ever since. I played throughout school but I have never competed outside of a school setting.
Computer Proficiency: Expert
Learning computer skills is extremely important in this day and age. I have fixed computers for friends and family for years. I like to teach the basics of the computer and its programs but I also like to focus on troubleshooting. Sometimes there are quick fixes to computer problems that do not require a three hour phone call with customer support.
Homework Help Proficiency: Expert
I am an older sister who was very involved in my sister's school work. I have the patients to help children with difficult homework especially when they don't want to be there. I worked many years with children as a Pre-K teacher and have learned to explain homework so each individual child understands what needs to be done.
Law This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I just graduated with a JD from an ABA accredited law school. Through my three years there I learned constitutional law, international law, criminal law, business law, contracts and many other specific areas. Last year I tutored a friend that took a business law course at Kennesaw State. I really enjoy law and enjoy teaching others law as well.
Microsoft Excel Proficiency: Experienced
Excel is a great tool to use whether you want to figure out a monthly budget or look for data points using multiple formulas. Excel can be difficult to learn on your own but I have taken many courses using Excel. I can explain it very well and once you learn a few things learning the rest of the program is a breeze.
Microsoft Office Proficiency: Expert
Microsoft Office is an entire host of programs which I am extremely familiar with. Learning these programs as well as each feature within the programs is a valuable skill to have and I have taught many different ages these skills over the years.
Microsoft PowerPoint This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
PowerPoint is used more and more these days. It is a great way to organize and display your work. I can teach you how to integrate movies and pictures into slides as well as the basics. I also spend a little time teaching you how to present the powerpoint because just standing up and reading the slide is the most effective use of all of your hard work.
Portuguese This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I am a dual citizen with Brazil and the United States. I grew up spending time in both countries and have extensive family in Brazil. I am a native speaker and Portuguese was my first language. I went to college and law school in the United States but have worked in the legal field in Brazil.
Study Skills Proficiency: Experienced
Study Skills are a great tool when you use them properly. It took me until about college to create the best study skills for me. In law school, I helped create study skills for other students individually using the best method for them.
Typing Skills Proficiency: Experienced
I have had a computer since I was three. While internet was not used back then I was able to learn to type at a fast rate. I taught my grandparents as well as my students how to improve their typing no matter what their age.
Writing Proficiency: Experienced
Good writing is difficult for everyone but there are many skills that can be taught to help. Writing is how one expresses themselves to those around the world. After seven years of post high school education I have learned many skills that have improved my writing dramatically. Writing is a subject I love to teach and help students with.
