我现在是威廉玛丽学院的大二学生，学习西班牙语研究和英语作为第二语言教学。我是一个特别有条理、有干劲、有激情的学生。我一直对教育很感兴趣。在高中四年级时，我研究、撰写并提交了一篇20页的研究论文，内容是关于教师教育与国家教育成功之间的关系。刚上大学，我就参加了一个与当地中学合作的辅导和指导项目。我被分配到一个由四个女孩组成的小组，整个学期都在她们或她们的老师认为需要额外支持的任何科目上与她们一起学习。我从小妹妹身上学到了重要的教学技巧，她最近被诊断出有学习障碍。从我和她的工作中，我对如何与残疾学生一起学习有了更好的理解。我最有价值的两项技能是英语和西班牙语。从我的考试成绩和所选择的学术道路来看，我擅长语言。 After attending an academically challenging high school and studying currently at a liberal arts college, I have extensive experience in all aspects of both languages. In English, I have a firm foundation in the technical aspects of essay writing, vocabulary, and grammar, and as a voracious reader and writer myself, I understand the more intricate skills of style, tone, and voice. In Spanish, I have moved far beyond the basics of grammar and sentence structure to using the language in order to communicate and discuss complex ideas and theories in an academic setting. When it comes to my teaching style, I believe it is extremely important to get to know a student both personally and academically. Doing so helps make my job easier, and the student's experience more enjoyable. I tend to focus on breaking down a task into its simplest parts, so that I can see and explain to the student what they are doing well, and how to apply that success to areas that need work. I am a huge believer in organization and time management as crucial to educational success, and work with each student I tutor to learn those indispensable skills in order to help them feel more confident and in control of their education. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, doing yoga, learning new languages, horseback riding, and spending time with friends.
