Fedora
Fluent, Bilingual Spanish Tutor
I have tutored students for over three years in Spanish. I have tutored college students, high school students, and have taught elementary students in public schools.

For this reason, tutoring is a great way to engage a student in a subject that may not be their strength. What I love about tutoring is the one-on-one connecti... Read more
Nadya
Trilingual Wesleyan Grad: Educator, Storyteller, & Globetrotter
I grew up as the child, niece, and granddaughter of three teachers. Nonetheless, at school I was also the hardworking nerd who spent more time studying than the rest and for whom repetition, encouragement, and opportunity were essential to my academic success—and confidence. It makes perfect sense to me that some five years after high school I would return to the very setting that had been the site of my growth. Beginning in 2008, I served as an outdoor educator with elementary school studen... Read more
