"I am a dedicated and patient tutor specializing in both Spanish and mathematics, with a strong passion for helping students gain confidence in their learning. My Spanish skills were developed through full immersion during a two-year mission in El Salvador, where I lived, worked, and communicated entirely in Spanish daily. This experience allowed me to become fluent not only in conversational Spanish, but also in reading, writing, and listening comprehension. Because I learned Spanish through real-world use rather than just textbooks, I can help students understand the language in a practical, natural, and relatable way. I enjoy helping students move past memorization and instead focus on understanding how Spanish is spoken and used.

In addition to Spanish, I tutor mathematics with an emphasis on clarity, problem-solving, and step-by-step understanding. I recognize that many students struggle with math due to gaps in foundational concepts or a lack of confidence, rather than a lack of ability. As a tutor, I focus on breaking down complex problems into manageable steps and adapting my teaching style to match each student’s learning needs. I believe that anyone can succeed in math with the right guidance, explanations, and encouragement. My goal is to help students not only improve their grades but also feel more comfortable and capable when approaching math-related challenges.

I am currently studying at Utah Valley University, where I continue to develop my academic skills and deepen my understanding of effective learning strategies. Being a college student allows me to relate well to the challenges students face, including balancing schoolwork, deadlines, and extracurricular responsibilities. I strive to create a supportive and motivating tutoring environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Whether a student is looking to strengthen their Spanish skills or gain confidence in math, I am committed to helping them reach their academic goals." less...
