About

I find joy in teaching others and walking them through the steps of knowledge. In High School, I tutored children (from 4-12 years old) and adults, mainly teaching English grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. Furthermore, I tutored English and technology, such as Microsoft Excel, to veterans in Colombia. In university, I participated in Tandem Program, which focused on tutoring Spanish to fellow students.
