- $40 / h
- Berkeley , California ( 94702 )
- 20 miles
I grew up in Berkeley, went to undergrad at Humboldt State University and recently received my master's degree at the University of Dundee in Scotland. I like to teach in a way that makes the most sense to you by using mnemonics and other sometimes odd ways to remember material, I thrive to make anatomy fun and easy to understand. If you don't understand the way the teacher is presenting the material, or the way I am trying to convey it, I will change my tactic until you understand it. I ... Read more

For two years as a Stanford Hollyhock Fellow I studied how to help students write better. Through feedback that is both technical (the X's and O's of writing) and power-affirming (asking writers to think deeply about their effect on the reader), I have helped dozens of students get into colleges. In particular, I excel at coaching for the Personal Insight Question (PIQ), a college essay form unique to the UC system, and have led workshops on how to understand and use this type of essay. My...

Having an Italian father and an American mother I had to grow up bilingual. Half of the family only spoke Italian and the other half English. I grew up in Italy so I know the language and the culture and the differences between living in Italy and in the US. Subtle differences such as when you're offered something saying "yes, thank you" as opposed to "yes, please". I know first hand the challenges, and benefits, of handling 2 different languages, and as I teach Italian to my adoptive niece... Read more

My enthusiasm and passion for Spanish began in middle school and developed throughout my high school and college years. Having immersed myself in the study of Spanish for so long, I now like teaching the subject because I find it fun to decode and recode the words of two languages. I enjoy working with people to help them develop skills. I am amiable, knowledgeable, patient, and can break down the concepts in a way that people can understand and from which they can benefit. Currently, I am... Read more
