In high school, I took many AP classes and excelled in calculus where I scored a 5 on the test. I also got a 35 on the math section of my ACT. I began teaching at a non-profit organization in Chicago in college. I taught ESL, computer, math, and citizenship classes. I have lived in Madrid for two years and am fluent in Spanish. There, I expanded on my ESL teaching experience. Some parents were so satisfied with my ESL tutoring that they asked me to teach there children in additional subjects. I have loved every teaching experience that I have had and truly enjoy sharing knowledge with other people!

I am outgoing and enjoy meeting people. I love to play sports, especially basketball and skiing. I am extremely passionate about the Spanish language and hope to continue my studies in a linguistics graduate program. I am a very patient teacher. My experience as a student showed me the qualities of a good teacher and I have tried to embed those qualities into my teaching. To me, patience and passion are two of the most important qualities of a successful teacher.
