Experience

I was a free-lance tutor on my college campus at the start of my higher education but had to put it aside in order to focus on keeping my own grades from slipping. I have currently completed all of the English requirements at City College of San Francisco, and have also managed to balance my school work with my familial obligations in caring for my 96 year old grandfather. I have a 2.88 GPA due to some personal struggles but have also dedicated myself to raising my GPA back to above a 3.0. I would like to be a tutor because I enjoy teaching and feel that it would give me more experience and help to make the decision if I want to continue on the path to becoming a teacher at the community college level. I am friendly and able to connect with young people from diverse backgrounds due to my having worked at City College of San Francisco in varied departments, including the Women's Studies Department and the LGBT Department. In 2009, I was chosen to be a panelist at the National Women's Studies Association Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The panel was about discussing activism and the movement of intersectionality at the community college.

Hobbies

I'm a poet, a spoken word performer, and computer savvy. I love teaching students and helping them build their self-confidence in their own intelligence. I am Salvadoran-American and speak fluent Spanish. I am also an avid reader and a fan of Harry Potter; I am also a science fiction fan and a huge fan of S.E. Hinton who wrote the acclaimed young adult novel "The Outsiders" which I read at a young age, and still love today. My favorite poets are e.e. cummings, Pablo Neruda, and Maya Angelou to name a few. I also have an avid love for animals, so pets are not a problem. I have 3 cats and a dog myself and enjoy discussing them with other animal people.
