Student at Wellesley College

I taught English to low income Brazilian students in Sao Paulo Brazil's largest favela for 4 years in high school. Now, as a student at the accredited Wellesley College, I tutor young elementary aged pupils in reading and math. I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma in high school specializing in Biology, Mathematics, Visual Art, Critical Interpretation (English), and History. I also completed standard level Portuguese (as a fluent/native speaker). Prior to my tutoring and teaching experiences, I was also a babysitter for my neighborhood starting from the age of 10. I have taken babysitting classes during the summer, and from that have become certified by the American Red Cross.

I love helping people remove their obstacles especially in Math, Science, Foreign Languages, Sports, and Computer Science. I also love to show them the art of learning, the enjoyment of learning, and how they apply to their life. Almost all of the students love my classes and they become better students as they are exposed to my encouraging, supportive, and intellectual reasoning skills, which they obtain in the end. There is no doubt about the success of individuals who are around me even if it is just for couple of minutes. In addition, I am an enthusiastic team player with excellent presentation and interpersonal skills. I am also reliable and a quick learner, who is dedicated to quality performance. Furthermore, I am a critical decision maker with a success proven record in setting and achieving goals so you do not have anything to worry about.

I have taught children and adults of all different ages and coming from all different backgrounds. This has helped me to create a very versatile style of teaching. For example, I believe that visual learning is very effective with many students. With these students, especially young children, I like to use colorful materials in order to spark interest and encourage creativity. I also feel that a learning environment with few distractions yet full of activities and study aids is key to creating a healthy and relaxed atmosphere. I like to encourage and praise my students for their efforts, which helps them to build confidence, not only in the subject area that is being studied, but also in other areas in life itself. Tutoring is truly rewarding, not only for the students, but for the teachers as well.
