Hi Everybody! My name is Danyela and I would love to be your next tutor! I am a recent graduate of Western Washington University and also have completed two intensive language/volunteer programs in Costa Rica amounting to almost a year abroad. I am a near-fluent Spanish speaker who has a knack for finding fun and creative ways to teach and learn. I've taken several courses on language teaching and completed a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate so I am totally up to date on the best language teaching methods out there! I've spent a lot of time in high school classrooms, both ESL and Spanish as well as several volunteer after-school programs with kids of all ages. I'm an avid reader, both in English and Spanish, and love to write about anything and everything! Although math and science are not my favorite subjects, I am more than willing to learn every

Hello! I am a certified PK-12 Spanish and ESL teacher with experience teaching 4-6 grade Spanish and high school Spanish courses. I studied abroad in Mexico and love studying the Spanish language and culture. I have tutored students of varying skill levels with their Spanish courses. I also have over 20 years of experience playing the piano and over 10 years of experience playing in the church setting. I was classically trained in piano from the age of 5 but have taught myself to read chord charts and lead sheets. I would love to help you unlock the world of music and piano. I was classically trained in piano but teach a combination of music reading and ear training. I can also teach you how to play by chord charts and lead sheets for band/worship music. My approach to teaching Spanish involves a combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

I have taught all levels of math (algebra, geometry, calculus and trigonometry) in Colombia, South America and the USA. I taught at THe Evergreen School in Shoreline, Monroe Montessori School in Monroe and other schools in Seattle. I can teach both from hands on to abstract math. I emphasize in the language of math and the applications in real life. I also teach chess to my students as a tool for thinking geometrically and mathematically.

I love to introduce students to new ways of thinking about language, literature, culture, and history; there's nothing better than "seeing the light go on". My aim is to help students discover their own unique style and set of skills, and enable them to develop the tools they'll need to write in academic and professional settings. These values include succinctness, readability, and expressiveness. I believe that a methodical and organized approach to writing at each level—sentence, paragraph, and essay—provides the structure and discipline needed for true freedom of expression, and I encourage students in the basics like spelling, punctuation, grammar, and outlining, while emphasizing imagination and creativity of thought. I got my BA in linguistics from the University of Washington, and earned an MLitt and PhD in English language from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. My training in

As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well as editing my peers and my own writing. I have been fortunate to tutor several students in my area in mathematics, English, arts and sciences. I have also lead a team in providing a reading mentorship in Port Elizabeth, South Africa while re-organizing their library. My experience in written and oral storytelling has also enabled me to work in an afterschool program teaching young students how to organize and perform their own stories. I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students

I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict. I served as a course assistant for math and science courses throughout much of college. I mostly tutored first year students (subjects included Calculus, Physics: Mechanics and Electromagnetism, Engineering: modeling, simulation, analysis, and Partial Differential Equations), and did some grading as well. I really enjoy tutoring, both one-on-one and with small groups. As a high school student I took Spanish through AP Spanish Language (and scored a 5 on the AP exam), and took a college level Spanish grammar course beyond that. I also attended an ext

During my undergraduate years at the University of Oregon, I spent several months in Mexico teaching English to children ranging in age from 6-15. During this time I perfected my Spanish as well, and wrote many papers in both Spanish and English. While pursuing my Electrical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, I taught Kumon math classes to children, and fellow Engineering students in electronics. I have kept up my French reading and speaking skills. Recently I have been intensively studying dance, especially salsa, Argentine tango, and African, and have been taking some ballet classes. I find that I am very effective at helping beginning dance students to develop their talents. I am good at tuning in with each individual's basic nature, and working with the talents that they do have but may not recognize. Through patience and a playful sense of fun, I can help people

While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be helpful to me in the future for teaching and tutoring. What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of meanin

I am patient, considerate, and teach with a style that makes a student feel good about himself/herself. I have straight-forward expectations and work with my student to hone them to a particular subject or situation. I am funny, and I work hard to create activities that are appropriately challenging, but fun. I want my students to miss me when I am not there! I am currently a paid tutor at Montlake Elementary School, assisting with language arts and math - at all levels. I have a secondary school teaching credential, and I taught English, reading, and ESL. As a lawyer, I have excellent writing skills especially in organization and editing. I love being in the classroom and helping students learn. When I am not in the classroom, I am a volunteer tutor (New Holly) assisting in math and reading. I have taught ESL in a variety of environments and do well with cross-cultural challenge

Growing up bilingual, I was always fascinated by language and grammar. After being admitted into a highly selectively liberal arts college, I dedicated myself to the study of French, Spanish and English literature, graduating with several honors. I had always enjoyed helping my friends with their Spanish assignments, so during my studies I found a job first as a Writing Assistant at the Academic Support Center, and then as a French and Spanish Teaching Assistant. After graduating, I continued my study of language and teaching by moving to France to teach English at a public high school. I believe that when you are teaching, you shouldn't simply teaching a subject, you need to teach how to learn. I don't want to hand my students a list of rules, vocabulary and answers to memorize. I want to work through different problems with them, helping them find and understand a larger scheme, see th

For me, teaching is the most rewarding experience you could ask for. I love to teach, whether its an elementary student, high school student, or even someone in their college years. Patience is the most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring. Many people just keep talking a pushing when a student just isn't getting it. Instead, I try to listen more and see what the underlying issue is. I have found that is the best way to really succeed. The concept of "staying positive" is also extremely important to me. You have to be optimistic in order to learn, and that is the type of learning environment that I strive to promote. I recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting, which has enabled me to gain substantial knowledge in many areas of business and math. I also received a minor in Sociology. This mino

I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Languages and Cultures with an emphashis on French at Washington State University. At the same institution, I was a volunteer tutor. Between August 2007 and May 2009 I was a tutor for individuals getting their High school diplomas. I volunteered to tutor at the High School Equivalency Program(HEP) at Washington State University. In the program I tutored 20 Mexican/Mexican American students in various subjects including: math, science, and English. I also provided guidance and preparation for the GED exam and problem translation from English to Spanish. I really believe that everyone has their own learning style. As a Psychology major, I understand and adapt to all learning preferences, whether it be visual, auditory or tactile and provide the best tools and strategies for learning.
