Experience
Recently, I served two years with City Year Los Angeles, where I found my passion to teach. I committed to over 3,400 hours of service in LAUSD public schools to provide targeted intervention and socio-emotional learning. I provided in-class support to partner teachers in Common Core aligned curriculum through delivering approximately five lessons a week. I organized school‐wide events that promoted academics, community and parent engagement. During the summer, I worked with Camp Galileo!
Approach
My approach to teaching and/or tutoring stems from my passion to help students become life-long learners. I was fortunate to have two amazing teachers in my life and the exposure to high need schools, to recognize the power of education. As an educator, I strive to bring enthusiasm and engagement to learning. I model what it looks like to make a mistake and learn from it. I provide positive encouragement and persistence. I attempt to help students build the necessary skills to be successful!

MastersEnglish Tutoring
Very similar to reading and writing, High School English is about making inferences and understanding themes. I have always loved English and helping students find their own meaning in their assignments.
Homework Coach Tutoring
High school students are often very busy and heavily involved in their social lives. I can build rapport and healthy relationships with them to hold them accountable to their school work. The struggle is in completing the assignment because it means practicing skills they may not be confident in. I would serve as a coach and resource to get things done!

One of my favorite things to do with students is read text and break it down. Once that happens, students are not overwhelmed with the amount of what they have to read but the content of it. I attempt to focus on things that stand out to them and then building off that.

Working in an elementary school made it clear that students don't have have so much time to learn or even enjoy science. I worked to research ways to making it engaging and fun.
