Hello everyone,
I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University in 2017. I was a Psychology major because I love helping others, understanding them and helping them understand the world around them. In college, I helped tutor my peers in Psychology, Math and Science classes. I also was a Teaching Assistant for my Statistics course for 3 years. In Maria Regina High School, I was a member of the National and Science Honor Societies. I volunteered tutoring my peers for Math and Science courses, such as Biology and Algebra, as well as in my Spanish Honors class. I was also given the Multicultural Award for Outstanding Leadership and Academic Excellence. I've always had a passion for learning and helping others learn. I love helping people understanding and comprehend what is being taught. Everyone is intelligent in their own way, and sometimes they just need someone to help them believe in themselves and show them a different way of learning, so that they can make sense of it. We all have different learning styles and a true teacher, sees her students needs and helps work towards helping them achieve their goals and achieve success.
Currently, I am tutoring a few students in first and second grades, in Math, Science, and homework help, as well as teaching them English. Other students are in fifth grade and I am helping them with their homework, as well as test-taking and Reading Comprehension. Therefore, I offer a wide variety of subjects and services, depending on what I see the student needs.

I love to give students sessions that allow the students to get the most of their time. I offer them help and create my lessons based on what I see they need the most. If they are struggling in another area, I also help them because I truly want to aid in their understanding of the material. Being Billingual also gives me the opportunity to help the student navigate between the English and Spanish worlds. For example, sometimes they just don't understand what is being asked, but know how to complete the work. So,

Awesome teacher!

My daughter had her first Spanish Lesson with Larissa today and we can’t wait until the next lesson! Larissa is energetic and patient, and it’s evident that she enjoys teaching.

Knowledgeable and Patient

Larissa has been helping my daughter with Algebra 1. We have now been using Larissa for 3 months, and I do see the difference not only in her grades but her confidence as well. There are still topics that’s a struggle, but that’s ok. I’m happy with the progress and looking forward to what’s to come.

Smart, professional and dedicated to her students - Larissa is a true educator!

This is a very long overdue note of praise for Larissa! She has been working with my freshman in HS since September. They focus primarily on Spanish but she has also helped him with Biology, Algebra and English. She is that multi-faceted! Larissa is an excellent communicator - she is reliable and always checking in on my son's progress. Her support has allowed him to find success in Spanish that we did not think was possible going in to this year. There are many tutors on this app but Larissa is a true educator. We are very fortunate to be partnering with her!
