About Me

I've been a high school teacher for almost 4 years now in the South Suburbs of Chicago! I'm currently teaching US History, Civics, and Consumer Economics classes this year. I've also taught Spanish classes for non-native speakers and Heritage Spanish classes for Spanish-speaking students. I am certified to teach classes in History, Spanish, Social Sciences, ESL, ENL, and bilingual education.

Describe your teaching and tutoring experience?

I'm in my 4th year of high school teaching! This year, my classes are US History, Civics, and Consumer Economics. In the past, I've taught Spanish classes too, both for non-native students and for Spanish-speaking students. When it comes to tutoring, I interned at the Intensive English Institute (IEI) for The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for 3 years. At the IEI, I tutored students from all over the world with a wide range of English ability levels. I can teach students at any level!

Tell us about yourself. What are your interests outside of school? What else would students enjoy knowing about you?

I love to travel and to learn about other cultures! Before the pandemic, I would spend all of my vacation time traveling the world. I've been to 14 countries so far and hope to begin traveling again soon once the pandemic passes for good! :)

What makes you an awesome Tutor? Describe any experience, qualifications or strategies here?

What makes me an awesome tutor is that I'm nice, patient, understanding, and easy to understand. I have practice explaining complicated things, like opening a bank account, to people with nearly no English ability. If you're my student, I'll always make sure your questions are fully answered and that you feel confident understanding the answer.
