Teaching Style

My tutoring strategies: -throughout my experiences, I realized that each person is different and require different teaching methods depending on the individual's preference -I prefer to use study skills that will benefit the individual; I have a variety of strategies depending on the subject as well. some individuals learn well using flashcards, while others prefer repetitive writing for memorization - I have had a couple of ADHD clients that prefer learning games and activities because it helps them stay active, but focused at the same time

My Hobbies

I enjoy choreographing dances. I have over 15 years of dancing experience and was in a dance group in college. I have won many dance competition as a child in ballet, jazz, and tap. In high school and college, I choreographed different types of multicultural dances, such as West African, Haitian Creole, hip hop, soca, and more. I also enjoy listening to a variety of music and see movies in 3D.
