I enjoy finding new ways to explain concepts so that a student understands them. I enjoy helping people. Relevant classes: I've studied Spanish for over half my life and I lived and studied in Mexico City for 6 months in college. I've acted in Spanish-language theater, and I have worked and volunteered serving Spanish-language populations. I have a strong command of the grammar and pronunciation. Native-speakers have told me that I sound like I come from South America. I've taken one year of university physics, and one year of university biology. Math is fun for me, especially Algebra and Calculus.
