Private tutor in Oakland, CA

Education

I have a Bachelor's degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder and currently work as a chemical engineer in the biotech/pharmaceuticals manufacturing industry. In addition I am fluent in Spanish and have lived or traveled in Spain, Peru, Mexico, and Belize. I do a considerable amount of technical writing in my role as an engineer, and taught ESL in Vietnam. My minors are in chemistry, biochemistry, and Spanish, and I am currently finishing a Coursera course in data science.

Experience

I have tutoring/teaching experience in the following subjects: math (K-12, college, algebra, calculus, trigonometry, geometry); Spanish (all levels); writing and grammar; ESL. AP test score: 34 SAT test score: 2200 I enjoy tutoring because it reminds me of when I was in school and learning everything for the first time. It's also a wonderful opportunity for me to connect with people who are in a different part of their life.

Hobbies

I love to get outside! My favorite activities are climbing, biking, and skiing. In addition I have been learning aerial circus arts and am completely in love. My favorite types of book are fantasy, adventure, and historical fiction. I especially love those written through many characters' eyes (eg. Dracula or Game of Thrones) or written by a demographic more or less lost to history (eg. The Mists of Avalon or The Red Tent). Finally, I am a language afficionada! I regularly read books in Spanish and listen to Latino music. In addition I know bits of pieces of French, German, Italian, and Vietnamese through traveling, studying, and talking with folks.
