University Instructor with a Passion for Individualized Learning

Paz P.

Hello! My name is Paz and I've been tutoring since 2019! While I also teach ENG 101 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I love tutoring for the unique one-on-one educational experience. I got my Bachelor’s degree in English - Creative Writing at Colorado State University — Fort Collins, and am currently attending University of Nevada — Las Vegas to earn my MFA in Creative writing! While I’ve been lucky enough for my writing to be published in some literary magazines, I’m most proud of my work in the classroom.

I have been tutoring students ages elementary school through young adult in a variety of English/Language Arts subjects since 2019, and have loved every moment of it! Fall semester of 2026 I became an instructor in English 101 at the University of Nevada— Las Vegas where I’m also engaged in a graduate level course on classroom design and pedagogy.

Whether you or your student is starting with the basics of phonics, or applying to university programs, I take a dynamic, hands-on approach to teaching. Where possible, I tailor sessions toward the student's interests, needs, and learning styles so that even the most difficult of subjects feel more approachable. I always want to meet my students where they are at while providing the support they need to grow into what they would like to be. Reading and writing are how we learn from the world, and how the world learns from us, so I treat English as not simply another class to get a grade in, but a tool for my students to use throughout their lives. I look forward to forging that tool together!
