I work best one-on-one or in small groups, I can adjust my style to what a person needs after speaking with them for a while and understanding how they learn. I've found the best way to teach someone a new way of looking at something is to understand how they currently perceive it. I have worked in art and graphic design professionally for the past 6 years, however I have been freelancing and creating art for myself since 1998. I previously worked for the Hayward Area Historical Society, which included assisting in design for exhibits as well as some teaching to visiting school groups. I have also been asked to teach small groups of children about art, or help with general homework on numerous occasions.

As a recent graduate of one of the top-rated business schools in the nation, I clearly enjoy learning and therefore want to share that with others through tutoring. I have worked with a multitude of students and therefore have learned how to adapt my teaching style to best suit the student’s needs. I’m a firm believer that one can learn anything if they are willing to put in the time and effort. I once thought I would never understand math and later earned an A in a college level calculus course as a high school senior. While tutoring students I believe it is also important to instill confidence in the student and give them the tools to help them succeed on their own. My love for English Literature has allowed me to flourish in English class starting in elementary school. As a freshman in high school I was elected to be a peer tutor.

I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a volunteer instructor of bi-weekly English language classes in Romania and Moldova. In both contexts, I have taught interactive courses for students of various ages, educational levels, and cultural backgrounds. From my background in Linguistics, I understand how language 'works'. I have a quiver full of tools to use in explaining the linguistic nuances, which I use to explain the relationship between thought and language. Additionally, I have been involved in various research projects on language usage, language change, and language learning. I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”.
