I am a Senior at Lipscomb University majoring in Political Science and International Relations. I also have a minor in Philosophy and Criminal Justice. I was born and raised in Colombia, so as a native Spanish speaker I have the knowledge and experience to teach this language, and as a college student I know the way students want to be approached and the importance of the involvement of the students in a class.I love tutoring History and politics, but especially Spanish, and I want to assist my students in reaching their full potential and achieving their goals, as well as in providing new ideas and perspectives for them.I want my tutoring sessions to be a dialogue because I think the best way to learn, especially a new language, is through a casual conversation with lots of questions asked by the student and by me, therefore I think it is really important to know closely the process the student is going through and provide particular approaches to particular situations.I've had experience in tutoring before. For a couple of months I volunteered to teach English to elementary school children in Colombia. I think that has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, because as a tutor you not only teach but you also learn from your students. Interacting with those children definitely opened my mind and made me want to share the knowledge I have with other people and at the same time learning from what the people have to teach me.

I have found that I actively try to surround myself with any and all things music. From various bands, performance opportunities, teaching music lessons and private theory tutoring. I am also actively studying music at the college level and have found a love for any and all things music. I hope to help students understand music theory and realize its usefulness. It is so relevant in classic and modern music. All we need to do is look through the correct lens to realize its potential and I hope to provide that lens.

I believe that ALL students are destined to succeed in education in their own way and their own terms. Sometimes it just takes others longer to grasp the information being taught to them and that is okay! I was one of those students and now I make it my mission to help those students that struggle the way I did academically. I succeeded and I know they will to!

I am a graduate of Murray State University and Lipscomb University. At Murray State, I received two Bachelor of Arts degrees in history and Spanish while at Lipscomb I received my teacher practitioner license. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, teaching two years in a low-income public high school in Tennessee; three years in Spain teaching English while improving my Spanish, and also tutoring children from low income areas of Kentucky and small towns in Valencia. During this time, I also acquired my TEFL certification. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, English, and History. I have a strong belief in the idea that anybody is able to learn and those who struggle simply need help in approaching the subjects differently. I love to help prepare for testing and sharing strategies and tips that allow students to succeed. I love to teach language in ways that are both fun and usable in the real world. The goal is to advance and improve in a practical way while also preparing to achieve in any form of testing. I love the idea of helping students smash expectations and learn in ways they never thought possible before. In my spare time, I love reading and running! I also love to travel and learn more about new culture and food.

After graduating Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, OH in 2016, I am currently a sophomore at Lipscomb University. I am working towards getting my Bachelor's degree in social work, with plans to obtain a Master's in school counseling.For a year and a half, I spent two days a week with a middle school-aged student. I helped her complete homework and study for tests of various subjects, including math and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is definitely Spanish because it has always been my favorite subject in school. It was something that I always enjoyed, and I loved to learn more about the language.With tutoring, I like to give the student a chance to show me what he or she knows first, so I can get an idea of what level the student is working at. If they are struggling in specific areas, I will work closely with them until it seems like they are starting to understand the content. If they just need a push in the right direction, I will be there to do that, but if they need content retaught to them, then I will provide that help as well.I don't know if I have any "hobbies," per se, but I enjoy baking, playing board games with my family and friends. I also enjoy traveling and becoming familiar with new places. I was raised to love baseball, and it's on my bucket list to visit every MLB park in America!I would describe myself as patient, and laid-back. I am simply here to help students where they're struggling, I am not here to get frustrated when someone may not understand the material! I am hopeful and confident that anyone can learn, but we just all learn differently.

I owe much of the academic success I've enjoyed to the teachers I had at Smyrna High School, where I graduated as Valedictorian in May 2013.I took several AP classes which pushed and helped me to become a National Merit Finalist. After graduation from high school, I was awarded a full-scholarship to Lipscomb University, where I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering. I hope to use my studies to help those in the 3rd world with the necessities we take for granted.As a tutor, I believe the most important thing I can do for you is to push you to think on your own. I've tutored students before who simply wanted me to do their work for them, but that will not help you to learn at all. If you want to become self-sufficient, I will help you reach your goals. I tutor many high school and college level math/science courses including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Differential Equations, and Physics. I have attained a 3.85 GPA in my 5 semesters at Lipscomb.Outside of school, you will often find me working on my car, photographing nature, or fishing. I cultivated a love of fixing things early on in college, and I refuse to pay a mechanic something that I enjoy doing myself. Getting outside is very important to me, especially since I tend to be cooped up in my dorm during the school year. Photography and fishing allow me to experience the alone time in fresh air that I need.

I believe firmly that to be a great teacher, you have to be a great student. When I first began tutoring middle school students through my church while I was in high school, I learned that learning works best when it is a two-way street. I love when my students give me feedback about where they are, as this helps inform me on the goals to work toward.I am a native Tennessean from a town in northwest Tennessee called Troy. I graduated from Lipscomb University with a double major in Communications and Spanish in 2013. I have lived in Honduras and Paraguay and made many trips to Mexico, and I am fluent in Spanish and teaching both the language and culture. I have worked in several middle and high schools throughout Nashville tutoring in Spanish, ESL, English and math.Additionally, I have worked for both a newspaper and radio station, and I am a huge fan of both news and proper grammar and writing. I believe that when you are able to write well and articulately, you will be best understood.I am a huge history buff, and I love American history, Latin American history, and world history in general. In my free time, I may be found on a kayak or bicycle seeing and experiencing new things.
