"Hello!

My name is Jaya. I am a graduate of Barnard College with degrees in Computer Science and English (Creative Writing), and have spent several years working at the intersection between journalism and technology before winning a Fulbright grant to teach English at the University of Málaga in Spain. There, I taught and planned classes for Spanish students both at the university and in private one-on-one lessons. But my teaching experience spans the length of my career: I volunteered teaching computer science at a high school in Brooklyn, worked as a teaching assistant in college, and my first-ever job was working as a tutor at Kumon.

My approach to teaching is tailored to each student and their specific needs and objectives. In general, though, I aim to make my lessons both creative and practical, focused on reaching educational goals and desired outcomes. I am always open to feedback, suggestions, or additional learning resources that students or parents might find useful. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule your first lesson!" less...
