Patient and Encouraging Elementary Tutor

Fanny H.

Hello! I am a patient and encouraging bilingual tutor who speaks English and Spanish. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences from Barry University. Although my educational background is in science, I enjoy helping elementary-aged children strengthen their reading, writing, basic math, science, and homework skills in a supportive environment.

For approximately two years, I participated in STEM outreach at Arch Creek Elementary School, where I helped teach biology, anatomy, botany and life-cycle concepts to students in grades 2 through 5. I explained lessons using age-appropriate language, visual examples, and interactive activities. I also volunteered with children between the ages of 5 and 12 at my local church, where I read with them, played educational games, participated in creative activities. Additionally, I assisted behavioral therapists who worked with children with disabilities, which strengthened my patience and ability to adapt to different learning styles.

My tutoring approach is to first understand what each child knows and where they need additional support. I break assignments into smaller, manageable steps and use examples, repetition, visuals, and practice activities to make learning easier and more enjoyable. I want every student to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and working at their own pace. My goal is not only to help children complete their assignments but also to build their confidence, curiosity, and independence as learners.
