Improve your English, Spanish & History skills with Erica! Ole!

I have a passion for tutoring and for providing academic support to students K-12th grade. In the past, I have had experience working in after school programs tutoring students k-3rd grade in all subjects, and most recently have worked with high school students, including students with special needs. During my time at UC Berkeley, I volunteered a couple of hours a week at the writing center helping out other fellow peers with some of their papers for subjects within the majors of Sociology, Social Work, Anthropology and English Literature. While working on my degree, I also spent six months in Argentina (my native country) studying abroad, and got to expand my tutoring skills further by working with people of all ages and walks of life as an English Instructor. I primarily worked with students 6th-12th grade and college students (ages ranged from 18-50).

In addition to academic support, I focus on developing successful study/homework skills. Organization and prioritization are just as important as understanding the content of the subject of study. I provide tips and guidelines as to how to approach a project, understanding what it entails--what one is being asked to do, and seeing it through until completion. I believe that embracing healthy study skills will not only make the subject a bit easier to tackle, but also help a student develop more self confidence in their work and ability.

My academic areas of strength include English (writing/reading/grammar), Spanish (I am a native speaker), and World History (with an emphasis on US history). I also feel very comfortable tutoring Science and Math for grades k-8th. Doing your work can be fun! Let's work together to understand it and get it done!

Spanish

I am a native Spanish-speaker. While in high school, I enrolled in a native Spanish class in order to reinforce what I already knew, as well as refresh my grammar skills. Since college, I have tutored in Spanish on and off. In the past two years, I have tutored one to three students at a time in high school and college level Spanish courses.

Study Skills

I have several years of experience developing effective study skills. I have incorporated different methods and techniques in my own academic career, as well as with the students I have tutored throughout the years. Study skills entail learning time-management, how to be better organized, how to prioritize, how to create outlines/notes for written work and overall how to stay focused on any one given project and seeing it through until the end--staying focused on the process.

Public Speaking

I have eight years of experience in public speaking skills. Public speaking relates to preparing information to be presented in front of an audience. My experience entails numerous hours of public speaking - presenting work in an office/professional work environment (PowerPoint presentations) as well as in an educational setting (presenting my own written work in lectures). As a tutor, I would prep a student with different techniques and methods to help develop effective presentation/communication... Read More

Autism

I have experience working with high school students diagnosed with autism on all subjects, with an emphasis on English (developing critical thinking skills, vocabulary & grammar), Spanish 1-4, US History, Government and Politics. In addition, I provided assistance with fostering organizational and prioritizing skills.
