Experience
Quite simply, I want to share my love of learning, languages, writing, and literature with others. I utilize my varied education and work experience gained in U.S. and foreign universities toward a learning experience that is beneficial and rewarding for others. I love witnessing visual and spoken progress with my students through tutoring. Russian credentials: I currently teach Russian language classes at two Scottsdale public high schools and tutor the students there as well. I am at an Advanced level for Russian speaking, writing, reading, and listening. In addition to completing four years of Russian language courses through my university, I completed a year of intensive Russian language study at St. Petersburg State University in Russia for 2013-14 while living with a Russian family. I also completed a two-month full course of Russian in Kiev, Ukraine at the Nova Mova Institute while living with a Ukrainian family in 2012. While in Russia, I translated news releases for the Lenfilm movie studio. As a native English speaker who learned Russian in the states and abroad, I know what it takes to study this fascinating language! English credentials: I was awarded 9 local and national merit and research based scholarships toward my English degree as well as finishing all four years of my education with a 4.0 GPA. I acted as an ASU Scholars Mentor for incoming freshmen, who needed extra help with English coursework. I have experience teaching and tutoring college-aged English major students with writing, literature analysis, and proofreading essays. I also work with high school aged students with literature and essay work for their classes. My passion for literature, writing, and reading carry from my childhood and now through my professional life. Hebrew: I studied 8+ years of biblical Hebrew in elementary school and studied 3+ years of Modern Hebrew at Arizona State University. I was a co-leader of a campus Modern Hebrew conversation club for two years, as well as providing tutoring services for beginner learners of Hebrew.
