Rebecca B.
Private tutor in North Valley, NM
Education
B.A. at Willamette University (OR, 2017) in Anthropology, French, and Spanish (GPA: 3.57 with a triple major).
Experience
My experience: I have just recently graduated with a B.A. in French, Spanish, and Anthropology – I love foreign languages and world socio-linguistics! While in college I tutored French grammar, to students in beginning and intermediate classes, for two years at our Language Studio and developed a love for teaching foreign language grammar. Some of my language classes required that I used an online tutoring platform (for people to tutor me) and that gave me a lot of experience for different tutoring styles as well. I also took two years of Spanish, as well as three years of Latin, in high school just before I started college. In sum: I've studied Latin for three years, French for four years, and Spanish for six years! I've also read classic and modern literature for each language in original text. I can provide assistance to those who want to learn a language for fun or for school! I can meet with learners regularly (as a homework buddy) or for those struggling with general grammar concepts. My tutoring style: I've found that an informal teaching style really helps the learning process. I teach/explain concepts in easy terms, in English. I always have little tips and tricks (no matter how corny!) to help learn grammar concepts or vocabulary. While I tutored French, I would even relate some concepts to Spanish grammar, if the learner was bilingual! I prefer to meet at a nearby Starbucks or library, or even through video/Skype chat!

Hobbies
Besides studying foreign languages (I'm currently teaching myself Italian), I love to draw, dance (Ballet, Modern, and Aerial), and I practice Yoga! Because I learned so much about Anthropology and socio-linguistics, I'm also currently learning Psychology. In terms of TV shows/movies: I love Star Wars, Disney movies, I Love Lucy, and the Dragon Ball series. For video games: The Legend of Zelda (all of them, but Windwaker's my favorite), Sims, and Soul Calibur are my favorites!
