Fun Facts
I'm passionate about languages and hope to learn as many as I can before I kick the bucket! I've traveled to Senegal several times. As a result, I can now speak a little bit of Wolof (a West African language) and am fairly fluent in French.
I also love to bake and love to eat even more. If we meet in person, let me know if you have any allergies and I'll bring along some treats (nut free, gluten free, etc.)
About Me
I'm a Senior at the University of Minnesota studying Journalism and Anthropology with a French minor. I have been tutoring my little brother in reading and math since he was 6 years old. Now that I've moved to Minnesota for school, I miss it! When I graduate, I would like to find a job teaching or working with immigrants and refugees in the U.S.
Experience
I have a 3.5 GPA and have lots of experience writing and editing lab reports, newspaper articles, research and academic papers, as well as book reports and cover letters. I'm also an advanced French speaker and writer! I have experience teaching swim lessons to adults with infants and children K-5. I also work a lot with college students and middle school/high school students close to my little brother's age.
Approach
I believe that school should not be a one-size-fits-all system. Every student's learning style is unique. I like to develop a relationship with my students to better understand their learning needs. Learning something new isn't always easy, but we will work through your process together to reach your goals and your potential.I want to help you relate with what you are learning because that is the key to success.
