Private tutor in Bothell, WA
Education
I graduated from North Dakota State University in 2011 with 2 Bachelor of the Arts Degrees in Psychology and Spanish. My GPA was 4.0. I studied abroad in Spain in the spring of 2010 and attended University of Malaga in Malaga, Spain. I attended a TESL certification course through Oxford Seminars, at Macalaster College in Minnesota to become certified to Teach English as a Second Language. I attended Celas Maya Spanish School in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala and completed 300 hours of one-on-one Spanish language study.
Experience
I have previously tutored Guatemalan students in English as a second language. My ACT score is 31. I am a 2007 National Merit Scholarship Finalist. At University I was a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and the National Honor Society of Psychology. I earned the Green and Golden Globe Diversity Award from the Office of International Programs in 2011. I enjoy tutoring students because I have enjoyed being challenged academically and believe I can pass on effective study habits and motivation to others. As a successful student myself, I understand different learning styles as well as teaching styles. Perseverance in academics is rewarding and character-building and I look forward to encouraging and appreciating my students' efforts.
