I cater my teaching method to each student that I work with. In my opinion, teaching styles should be what works best for the student, not what I'm most comfortable with! I constantly pursue further education to ensure that I can meet the needs of students with all types of learning styles.
My tutoring is typically non-directive in style; I lead the student to find answers for themselves rather than repetitively telling them what I think the answers are. In beginner language lessons, I employ many types of input, from lists, to charts, to stories, to audio and video experiences, to help my students retain the information we learn!
I have bachelor's degrees in Spanish, English, and Environmental Studies. I hope to be a Spanish professor someday and am applying for graduate programs! Teaching and learning languages is definitely a main passion of mine- I've taken courses in Portuguese and French as well. Teaching experience: 3 years teaching environmental summer camps for kids; 2 years teaching percussion for a group of high schoolers; 2 years of being a Spanish writing tutor for my university's Multilingual Writing Center; 2 years of being a Spanish peer tutor for my university; 1 semester of being a Conversation Associate for Spanish at my university's Multilingual Writing Center
