I have always been passionate about learning and helping others grow in the process. During my undergraduate career at Azusa Pacific University, I graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0, majoring in English Literature and Spanish (with a minor in French).

I have always been passionate about learning and helping others grow in the process. During my undergraduate career at Azusa Pacific University, I graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0, majoring in English Literature and Spanish (with a minor in French). I also have a certificate in Modern Hebrew from the University of Virginia. During my undergraduate career, I spent three years tutoring writing for both undergraduate and graduate students; worked as a high school tutor in Spanish, English, History, and SAT; taught English and Spanish to young adults in Thailand; and worked as a teaching and research assistant for Dr. Carole Lambert, a well-respected professor of literary theory and specialist in Holocaust literature. I also hold an MA in Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture from University of Southern California (USC).
Teaching is one of my greatest passions and joys. There is nothing more satisfying than helping other people succeed both in and out of the classroom. I often try to find creative ways of applying material right away, so that tutoring sessions have a good balance between mastery of concepts and actual practice. I firmly believe that anyone can speak a foreign language, read/write with confidence (even in English!), and master ANY subject - let me help you believe that, too!
I also have wide-ranging experience with all levels of writing and editing, so I have developed techniques that aid in the development of stronger writing at any point in your educational journey. As a employee of APU's Writing Center, I presented research at a national conference on the theory and creation of multilingual writing centers at the college level - with this blend of theoretical knowledge and practical know-how, I am confident that I can help your composition skills across languages and disciplines.
