Experience
I have some experience teaching elementary math, all levels of Portuguese, and English as a second language. After my experience as an English teacher in Brazil I discovered my passion for the art of teaching and that experience highly influenced my decision to apply for a Ph.D. program in the hope of becoming a university professor at the end of this journey. Currently I am a comparative politics teaching assistant at University of Florida, giving lessons to approximately 50 undergraduate students. My student evaluations have been overwhelmingly positive, and I scored a 4.7/5.0 on overall ratings. I don't have a car so unfortunately students must live either at a distance that is close enough for me to bike to or be available to meet at public areas in Gainesville (like coffee shops, libraries, etc). I want to be a tutor because I hold warm memories of those teachers who enabled me to become a better student by providing me with guidance and discipline. I hope to be able to have a similar impact on those who take tutoring lessons with me. Thank you!
