I hold a Master’s degree in International Affairs from UC San Diego, where I focused on curriculum development and instructional strategies. My academic background also includes a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and International Business from the University of California, San Diego. Additionally, I hold a credential to substitute teach in the state of California and have been doing so for approximately three years.
My tutoring and teaching experience spans nearly a decade, during which I have worked with a diverse range of students from elementary school to college level. I began my career as a volunteer tutor in after-school programs, where I honed my skills in one-on-one and small group instruction. This foundational experience allowed me to develop a student-centered approach, tailoring my methods to the individual needs and learning styles of each student. I have also taught in classroom settings, both in public schools and private institutions, where I implemented interactive and engaging lesson plans that foster critical thinking and creativity.
Throughout my teaching career, I have consistently employed a variety of methods to enhance student understanding and retention. These include project-based learning, where students actively explore real-world problems and challenges, and the Socratic method, which encourages dialogue and critical questioning. I have also integrated technology into my teaching, utilizing tools such as interactive whiteboards and educational software to make learning more dynamic and accessible. My experience encompasses working with students aged 8 to 28, including those with special educational needs, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to succeed.
